What is the Flight Instructor Hall of Fame (HOF)? Its purpose is to recognizes those individuals who have made significant contributions to aviation education and flight instruction while reflecting credit upon themselves and their profession. It highlights the important role flight instructors play as a foundation for the safety of the entire national air transportation system. Each year (with limited exceptions), one or more inductees are selected and honored.

NAFI sponsors and administrates the HOF: NAFI recruits applicant inductees each year, organizes the independent judging panel, administers the results of the judging selection, covers costs of administering the award, and provides the venue for the induction ceremony each year the award takes place.
