The sky is changing—and so is the role of the flight instructor. In this episode of More Right Rudder, we’re joined by Chris Penningroth, former Air Force pilot and leader of NAFI’s eVTOL and Powered Lift Special Interest Group. Penningroth brings his unique perspective to a conversation about the emergence of eVTOL and powered-lift aircraft and what they mean for the future of flight training.

We explore the growing demand for instructors in this cutting-edge sector, the challenges of developing new training materials and standards, and how AI could play a role in everything from instruction to aircraft operations. Someday, an eVTOL/powered-lift aircraft will arrive at an airport near you. Start getting ready for that day, today.

If you aren't already a NAFI member, join us at https://nafimentor.org. NAFI members have access to nearly a dozen Special Interest Groups, on a wide variety of instructional specialties.
