CFI Care will debut on May 28, 2025, in NAFI’s eMentor newsletter.
The National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) welcomes aviation educator, flight instructor, and airline pilot Brian Schiff to its roster of columnists for its portfolio of publications.
Titled CFI Care, the new educational column will debut on May 28, 2025, in its eMentor newsletter. The monthly column offers bite-sized nuggets of knowledge from aviation educator and NAFI board member Brian Schiff.
Schiff draws from 21,000 hours of flight time and multiple instructor ratings to share techniques, tips, and advice to help make instructors better at their craft. His contagious enthusiasm for teaching and sense of humor make learning fun and impactful.
Schiff combines humor and storytelling to help explain misunderstood topics in a brief, easy-to-understand way. “Too many pilots have a fundamental misunderstanding of some basics,” Schiff said. “I want to impart my 40 years of figuring out how to teach them before I forget.”
“We are excited to feature Brian’s new column in NAFI’s eMentor newsletter,” said NAFI Director of Publications and Editor Beth Stanton. “He is equal parts earnest and snarky, which makes his voice both authentic and fun. He’s a great teacher and I can’t wait to learn from him.”
The column will be posted monthly both on the public area of the NAFI website and the member-only area of the platform.
