Lesson Plans to Train Like You Fly (PDF)

This book presents lesson plans for flight instructors in the form of scenario-based "maneuver briefings." A rich resource for active instructors, these lesson plans are also helpful to CFI applicants preparing their own materials. "Lesson Plans To Train Like You Fly" is designed to work in complement with any syllabus and the FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS). Each maneuver briefing features a series of drawings that instructors can discuss with their students or replicate in the classroom and an accompanying script to teach from. Maneuver briefings will come alive with the "what to draw" examples and "what to say" teaching scripts in this book. As a companion book for the first comprehensive guide to scenario-based instruction, this flight instructor’s teaching manual combines years of research with the latest studies and proven practices. The concrete guidelines and tips help flight instructors expand their practices to go beyond the FAA practical test standards, and numerous topics are covered such as systematic risk reduction, critical thinking, effective grading and evaluation, and tailoring programs to reach specific and individualized goals. Flight instructors will find effective, creative scenarios for IFR training, advanced training, instrument proficiency checks, and much more.
