Why is a Master Instructor photo (JPEG) required?
Because the “Master Instructor Continuing Education ProgramÔ ” (Master Instructor program for short) is approved by the FAA for flight instructor certificate renewal, an FAA approved training course outline (TCO) is required. A photo is a part of the approved TCO. In addition, an e-mail Master Instructor news release is sent out to individuals and media outlets both locally and nationally on behalf of all initial and renewing Masters. A JPEG image of the Master is routinely attached to that announcement. Pictures will also be posted on the www.MasterInstructors.org Your picture(s) must: * be aviation oriented medium resolution JPEGs showing only the Master or the Master as the picture’s primary focus; * depict the Master as a professional aviation educator in or around an aircraft, a classroom, a simulator or other instructional setting, but certainly not a “mug shot”; * show the Master professionally dressed (i.e., in a Master shirt, flight school shirt, classroom attire, etc).
