The Flight Instructor’s Manual is an invaluable reference for flight
instructor applicants and serves as an indispensable guide for both new
and experienced instructors (CFIs). Organized so each chapter can be
used as a stand-alone reference for a particular phase of instruction,
allowing it to serve as a “how to teach” guide on topics including:
fundamentals of flight instruction (FOI), presolo instruction, first
solo to the private certifi cate, advanced VFR instruction, introduction
to aerobatic instruction, and instrument instruction. The book also
features a comprehensive spin syllabus, material on multi-engine
airplanes, instructing international students, teaching ground school,
and setting up tests.
