21st Century Flight Training

 

Effective flight training in this advanced technological age calls for improved teaching methods. Sean Lane’s 21st Century Flight Training discusses core concepts such as flight phases, task prioritization, proficiency segments for performance maneuvers, as well as visual situational awareness — all of which lead to improved training efficiency and intelligent aeronautical decision making.

The book introduces new training models such as Integrated Sensory Flying (ISF): a concept that answers a long-awaited call for a visual flight instruction program similar to that of Basic Attitude Instruments (BAI). The new training models and teaching methods provide tools to help resolve the inherent conflict between technically advanced aircraft and an increasingly complex flight environment, and general aviation accident trends.

21st Century Flight Training teaches all the primary flight training maneuvers from the perspective of an examiner with countless checkride insights, guiding readers from initial flight instructor lessons to conducting flight reviews on their own. Flight instructor candidates are led through the development of a complete set of lesson plans, learning how to teach maneuvers, navigate oral exams and practical tests, and on to operating as twenty-first century flight instructors. Illustrated, bibliography. Soft cover, 8 1/4" x 10 3/4". 472 pages.

Train Like You Fly: Guide to Scenario-Based Training

 

Scenario-Based Training (SBT), which has become industry standard, uses a script of real-world experiences to address flight training objectives. Scenarios are powerful training tools precisely because the future is unpredictable. Unlike maneuver-based training where individual maneuvers are relatively isolated and learned virtually out of context, SBT is about the big picture and the integration of all the elements necessary for successful flight. Train Like You Fly explores scenario-based training extensively. In this book, Arlynn McMahon provides the key ingredients for making a good pilot and shares practical techniques to bring it all into the cockpit.

By following structured scripts, SBT teaches students to consider all aspects of every flight, from beginning to end. Train Like You Fly is packed with scenarios, guidelines and tips that will help flight instructors reach well beyond the FAA Practical Test Standards to help students to train like they fly so they fly like they train. Instructors will learn how to:

  • Create effective scenarios of their own
  • Teach systematic risk reduction, aeronautical decision making (ADM) and develop critical thinking skills in their students
  • Employ effective grading and evaluation using the latest FAA/Industry (FITS) practices
  • Help new CFIs gain from the most effective habits of experienced instructors

This comprehensive guidebook shows flight instructors how to implement scenario-based training into their teaching methods, providing superior instructional tools to general aviation pilots who, in light of today’s technologies, fly farther, faster, and higher than ever before. Includes illustrations throughout, glossary, and extensive bibliography. Softcover, 7-1/4" x 9", 232 pages.

Flight Instructor's Manual

Written by one of the UK's best known and highly qualified examiners, this classic text is the flying instructors bible. It is specifically written to cover the content and sequential layout of flight training sections in the UK PPL Syllabus and the UK Assistant Flying Instructor Syllabus. It is primarily for use by flying instructors undergoing training, but also when they are obtaining experience in the instructional role.

You Have Control - Being a Better Flying Instructor

It is the ambition of many private pilots to become a flying instructor, and it is a very common component in the career paths of many on their way to a position as a commercial pilot.

But although manuals exist setting out what should be taught and when, this is the first book to look at how to be a good instructor – one who can prove an asset to his or her school, inspire students and keep the bookings coming.

Covering every aspect of the job, this book will be required reading for anyone considering taking up instruction, or any established instructor wishing to hone his or her professional skills.

The Flying Instructors Patter Manual


“Patter” is the term given by flying instructors to the language they use whilst demonstrating training exercises in the air. It is a very special language as it has to be precisely co-ordinated with control movements and absolutely lucid.

“Patter” is also a picture language because the art of flying is largely about visual cues. The good flying instructor should know these cues and a prime object of this book is to highlight them, not only in the text, but with matching pictures as seen from the cockpit.

The Patter book is the first flying manual ever to record verbatim the language of the flying instructor as spoken in the air.

Paperback

Pre-Flight Briefing Manual, Basic PPL Course

A comprehensive Flight Briefing Manual for Flying Instructors covering each exercise in the JAR Syllabus the AIM, points on Airmanship and Air Exercises within each component of the exercise is set out in the sequence in which it will normally be covered in flight. Similarly the Instructors Notes for each exercise should not be seen as covering every point one might wish to impart to every student, but rather they identify what have been found as the most salient points to stress. In order to ensure that these briefings are suitable for most single-engined light aircraft, where appropriate, boxes have been left for you to enter the correct airspeed and r.p.m. figures for the aircraft type(s) you use for training.
