MSIP Application Form

MSIP Program applicants must hold the appropriate flight instructor rating(s) and required experience for the MSIP echelon for which they are applying. MSIP instructors are flight instructors who are engaged with the PMOPA community and are committed to training in Piper M-Class aircraft.

MSIP Program instructors must strictly follow the PMOPA SEF Training Program when training as an MSIP representative. MSIP Program instructors may train pilots who are not PMOPA members.

MSIP Program instructors must satisfy requirements to renew their recognition by the PMOPA SEF. An MSIP Program instructor may stay at his/her current echelon or change echelons, depending on his/her circumstances and engagement.

Under extenuating circumstances, waiver requests will be reviewed and considered by the MSIP Steering Committee.

For the purposes of the MSIP Program, the term “Variant” means either: (a) Malibu/Mirage/Matrix/M350; (b) JetPROP; (c) M500/Meridian; (d) M600/M700.

MSIP CFI: is recognized by PMOPA as a qualified provider of M-Class recurrent training, focused and situational-specific training, and mentoring for M-Class pilots.

MSIP Gold CFI: in addition to the above, is also recognized as a qualified provider of M-Class initial training and as a qualified mentor for MSIP CFIs.

MSIP Platinum CFI: has the same training and mentoring qualifications as an MSIP Gold CFI but has a greater amount of M-Class Variant experience.

MSIP candidates should have completed initial training for at least one Variant (piston AND turbine, if seeking recognition for both) and transition training for each additional Variant for which an initial training was not completed.

The MSIP Steering Committee recognizes that CFIs who have been instructing in M-Class aircraft for many years may have started instructing in these aircraft before training was formalized to offer initial training events. If this is your situation, please provide a brief explanation of how you became qualified to instruct in the M-Class variant(s).
