Beginning with the May/June issue, Mentor magazine will transition to a fully digital format.

This strategic shift allows NAFI to reinvest in expanded educational content, enhanced digital features, improved accessibility, and broader reach across the aviation instruction community.

The digital edition will continue to deliver the authoritative editorial content members rely on, while introducing new opportunities for interactive learning and engagement.

We look forward to building this next phase of Mentor together.
