Designed for ground instructors, flight instructors, and aviation
maintenance instructors, this Aviation Instructor's Handbook was
developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in cooperation
with aviation educators and industry to help beginning instructors
understand and apply the fundamentals of instruction. It provides
up-to-date information on learning and teaching and how to apply this to
the task of teaching aeronautical knowledge and skills to learners.
Experienced aviation instructors will also find the information useful
for improving their effectiveness in training activities. This book is a
key reference tool to all the information necessary for operating as an
authorized instructor and passing the Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI)
FAA Knowledge Exam.
Subjects covered include risk management and single-pilot resource
management, human behavior, the learning process, effective
communication, the teaching process, assessments, planning instructional
activity, instructor responsibilities and professionalism, and
techniques of flight instruction. Appendices include a comprehensive
bibliography of references, information on how to develop a test item
bank, certificates and ratings endorsements, and a personal minimums
checklist.
This new edition expands and updates the existing material, including
scenario-based training relative to assessments, the submission process
of an Airman Certificate and/or Rating application through IACRA, and
endorsements. It also incorporates new areas of safety concerns and
technical information not previously covered, such as referencing the
Airman Certification Standards (ACS) alongside the Practical Test
Standards (PTS), teaching practical risk management during flight
instruction, and information for Remote Pilots.
This book is the official FAA source for teaching flight and many test
questions for the FAA Knowledge Exams for instructors come from this
reference. Complete with chapter summaries; detailed, full-color
drawings and photographs throughout; and a glossary and index.
