The SSA Master Cross-Country Instructor Pilot Program is here and ready for you!
The SSA is seeking a few good Cross Country Instructor (CCI) that may want to participate in the newly revised CCI Program! The new program has been completed and we are looking for CCI to help expand Cross-Country flying in the United States and attracting more pilots to participate in Cross-Country. This is a member’s program for the members. All are welcome to participate. A few prerequisites: Posses the SSAI, a minimum of a FAI Silver Badge and a current CFI-G. If you do not posses a CFI-G, but an avid Cross-Country Pilot; we have a place for you too! It’s the Subject Matter Expert (SME). Where you as well can share your skills and knowledges from years of cross-country experiences. The SME must hold at least a FAI Gold Badge and have recent Cross-Country or Contest flying experience. Again, all found in the CCI Handbook. Please refer to the Cross-Country Handbook for these and additional requirements.
If you have a desire to help and expand the knowledge and experienced you have developed over the years of Soaring and want others to gain the same, please check the program document out and help increase Soaring Pilots to spread their wings and go Cross-Country.
You can find the Program Handbook and the CCI/SME application at the SSA Web page, under “Badges and Records” or on the SSF web page.
More information needed, please contact me.
