Thanks to MCFI for approving my 13th Master CFI renewal; a great honor. MCFI is how I became a DPE 25 years ago (I never applied). After my Master certification, 3 FAA ASIs from the FSDO walked into my 141 flight school (that is usually not a good thing...) They smiled and announced "we want you to be a DPE." Pursue excellence, it pays you back!

David is only one of three active Master Instructors to achieve this extraordinary level of excellence. He has been recognized as a Master Instructor for twenty-six years of his career as an aviation educator.
