Master Instructors is pleased to welcome Brannon McCain of Simi Valley, California, to the Master Instructor Community as a Master CFI. Congratulations to Brannon for this initial Accreditation and we are sure there will be many more. Brannon quit his full time job in 2019 to become a full time student and began flight training in October of that year. Ten months in, he had earned his CFI, CFII, and MEI, and began instructing at ATP Flight School in Camarillo, Calif. Since then, he has provided over 2000 hours of flight, ground, and simulator instruction. For 6 months he served as the lead flight instructor at ATP before making the switch to CP Aviation in Santa Paula, Calif. In his first few months there he added tailwheel and UPRT training to his credentials as a CFI.
