Fundamentals of Instruction: Practical Applications for the CFI

A concise, practical text that prepares the initial flight instructor in the fundamentals of instruction to pass the CFI practical and provide effective instruction. Teaching should be fun for both the instructor and student. Unfortunately, the FAA references are dry and lack practical applications, so the CFI memorizes useless acronyms and mnemonics to pass the practical. This guide provides practical aviation training examples and applications. The text includes step by step guide to prepare lessons and provide effective ground and flight instruction for the initial CFI practical test, on the flight line, and in the classroom.
