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.
