The Piper M-Class Owners & Pilots Association (PMOPA) rolled out two safety initiatives to bolster training of its members during its annual convention and fly-in, held November 1 to 3 in Austin, Texas. Featuring an exhibit hall and 29 educational sessions, the convention drew more than 300 attendees and 65 owner-flown aircraft.

Safety initiatives unveiled included the M-Class Elevate training program and M-Class Standardized Instructor Pilot (MSIP) program. M-Class Elevate was designed to provide owners and pilots with consistent, quality training to reduce accidents, while the corresponding MSIP program recognizes certified flight instructors (CFIs) with experience in Piper M-Class training and who are committed to the Elevate program, PMOPA said. The inaugural MSIP class counts 23 participating CFIs.
