Title:
NAFI Welcome Event - Teaching the Untouchables
Topic:
Teaching the Untouchables: Handling Difficult, Defiant, and Dangerous Students
Brief Description:
Led by Gary “GPS” Reeves, the most experienced GPS/Avionics IFR instructor in the world, this candid, high-impact roundtable is for CFIs who’ve faced the kind of students no textbook prepares you for—those who argue, ignore instruction, or even put safety at risk. Bring your stories, hear real-world experiences from fellow instructors, and leave with practical strategies to prevent small problems from becoming dangerous ones. This is your chance to talk openly, share ideas, and strengthen your instructor toolkit for the toughest personalities in aviation. Please join us for this two hour roundtable.
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.
