Master Instructors and the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators is delighted to announce that Stephen Fiegel of Hookset, New Hampshire has received his Second Accreditation of Master Instructor-Aerobatic. Stephen fell in love with aviation at a young age, attending airshows throughout the Northeast with his father and siblings.

Stephen has built a diverse aviation background spanning gliders, helicopters, banner towing, aerobatic and warbird instruction, aerobatic competition, and aviation entrepreneurship. 

With nearly 20 years of aerobatic experience, he has spent the last 15 years helping pilots develop confidence, precision, and safety through aerobatic, spin, and UPRT instruction. Stephen currently serves as Sales Manager, Integrals – Americas, and Demo Pilot for the Integral R aircraft program in the United States, where he combines his instructional background with aircraft demonstration, training, and customer development efforts. He remains deeply involved in the aerobatic community, serving as Secretary of IAC Chapter 35 in New England and competing in contests throughout the eastern United States. Since 2015, he has been active in the airshow industry in roles including team coordinator, narrator, media pilot, and ferry pilot, working alongside airshow notables such as Rob Holland, Sean Tucker, and Mike Goulian. Through his instruction, competition flying, and industry involvement, Stephen continues to share his passion for aviation with pilots at every level with ongoing commitment to aviation education and the aviation community as a whole.
