Lesson Plans to Train Like You Fly: A flight instructor's reference for scenario-based training
This guide for flight instructors (CFIs) presents lesson plans 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 can also be used as a companion book for flight instructors who are following the principles of scenario-based training taught in Arlynn McMahon’s first book, Train Like You A flight instructor’s guide to scenario-based training .
This book is designed to work in complement with any syllabus and the FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS) or Airman Certification Standards (ACS). It explains how to teach each maneuver, making the flight instructor’s favorite syllabus curriculum even more effective and enjoyable for clients. Each maneuver briefing features a series of drawings instructors can discuss with their clients or replicate in the classroom and an accompanying script to teach from, which includes a story or motivation on the why and how the maneuver is applied in actual flight. Common errors are discussed in the form of keys to success, to positively inspire clients to become sound aviation citizens.
In addition to lesson plans, this book includes templates, checklists, and assignments to build proper flight preparation habits and help determine a student pilot’s readiness to act as pilot-in-command. These tools are especially helpful to the CFI ahead of the major flight training milestones, such as first solo, solo cross-country, and checkride. This new third edition reflects current best practices and adds a new chapter for teaching basic instrument maneuvers.
