Title:
NAFI 2025 - Straight Talk About Aviation Safety John and Martha King- At the PPC Education Center
Topic:
Discovering Their Own Sense of Vulnerability, John and Martha Say They Have Become “Born-Again” Pilots
Speaker(s):
John & Martha King, King Schools
Brief Description:
After having had an aircraft accident of their own, and discovering their own sense of vulnerability, John and Martha say they have become “born-again pilots”. Having had a hand in the aviation education of nearly half of the pilots in the United States in the last four decades, the Kings feel a deep responsibility towards their students and a strong sense of mission about passing on practical and insightful tools for risk management.
When we say “safety is our highest priority” do we really mean what we say? Wouldn't grounding the airplane be the safest thing? This startling presentation for all pilots will provide a provocative approach with new concepts, a new vocabulary and fresh insights into aviation risk management.
PRESENTED DURING THE EAA AIRVENTURE FLY-IN. NO FEE FOR THE NAFI PRESENTATIONS, BUT AN ENTRANCE FEE IS REQUIRED BY EAA AIRVENTURE TO ENTER THE GROUNDS.

John and Martha King´s use of technology and clear, simple, and fun teaching have made aviation knowledge more accessible to pilots throughout the world. After a dismal failure in a business for which they did not have a passion, John and Martha King decided to relax and indulge their love of flying for a while. In the early 1970s, they began teaching flying to mark time while looking for a "serious business." After teaching live seminars for over a decade they put their courses on video and began to revolutionize the flight training industry. Today their company, King Schools, Inc which started in a spare bedroom in the Kings´ house, operates out of a dedicated complex in San Diego, California that includes a video and software production facility.
NAFI would like to thank EAA for making the theater and space in the EAA Pilot Proficiency Center available for NAFI's presentations, member and pilot support during EAA AirVenture 2025.
