Lakeland, Florida (April 9, 2024) –
The National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) and Lightspeed Aviation are pleased to announce today that they have partnered together to advance the message of safety in the cockpit for certified flight instructors and their students.
The two institutions have parallel missions to raise awareness in the piloting community on the importance of maintaining a safe and professional standard of training and mentorship. With the advance in technology found in the Lightspeed Delta Zulu ™ ANR headset, NAFI recognized that a partnership with Lightspeed will help further that mission.
NAFI President, Paul Preidecker, said, “This partnership with Lightspeed is all about connecting flight instructors with the right technology to improve aviation training and safety. In addition, our colleagues at Lightspeed have created a valuable benefit for our members.”
It is Lightspeed’s vision to create products to protect and save lives. With that beacon, the Lightspeed Delta Zulu brings lifesaving and live changing safety features never before found in an aviation headset. The carbon monoxide monitor built into the headset gives CFIs audible alerts of any traces of CO in the various cockpits they use to train the future of aviation.
“To CFIs around the world, we say if you don’t own the aircraft, own your own safety’, “said Allan Schrader, CEO and Founder of Lightspeed Aviation. “We share the same values with CFIs when it comes to safety in flying. And using the proper tools in their instruction should be the foremost requirement. So, we want to make it even easier for them to access these tools with our new NAFI Membership Benefit Program.”
