the number of students using the curriculum); we've
returned nearly 12,000 rusty pilots to the air; there
are now more than 220 active AOPA-supported flying
clubs across the country; and we've awarded millions
of dollars in scholarships as well as identified the
top schools and CFIs in the country (according to
students and participants) for the tenth year in our
Flight Training Experience Awards. Six flight schools
and six CFIs were selected as the 2023 regional
winners and 32 flight schools and 65 instructors
earned distinguished awards. One flight school (In

work we do for aviation
safety. Also supported by
the AOPA Foundation is
the AOPA Air Safety
Institute, which is
almost like the responsible
big brother in our
family. ASI is a microcosm
of AOPA itself; it
has the same leadership
and staff structure
as AOPA, with member
response, communications,
education, and
research departments
dedicated to the number
one responsibility of this association: safety.
Through its dedicated analysis, research, and work,
ASI examines the causes of accidents and responsibly
works to find cures. It's an innovative group, led
by a former U.S. Air Force Thunderbird pilot, AOPA
Senior Vice President Richard McSpadden, who provides
analysis through columns and videos and who
led one of our more innovative programs in 2022-
the study of upset recovery through spin training and
awareness using a donated Extra 300L, which was
auctioned at Sun 'n Fun this year after providing many
months of training, experiences, and information.
