Upcoming broadcasts:October 17th, 2018 8:00 PM "Turning Fledglings into Fliers - Three Challenges for Flight Instructors"Presented by Susan Parson, Special Assistant, FAA Flight Standard Service and Paul Preidecker, Regional Airline Chief Instructor In many ways, flight instruction is like parenting: the instructor starts with full responsibility for the survival of an individual. The task is to transfer knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for the person to understand, think independently, and make sound choices navigating the daily complexities of the real world. The nature of this task makes flight instruction a risky business. There are many ways to get hurt if you are not paying attention to the right thing at the right time, and the long-term stakes are high since what you teach affects how the trainee flies in the future. In this context, Paul Preidecker and Susan Parson discuss three specific challenges that flight instructors face and offer tips and techniques for meeting them successfully.
