Task F: Techniques of Flight Instruction Flashcards
Obstacles in learning during flight instruction: (WIPUAA)
Worry or lack of interest Impatience Physical Discomfort, Illness, Fatigue Unfair Treatment Apathy Due to Inadequate Instruction Anxiety
Demonstration-Performance training Delivery:
Explain: Instructor explains objective of lesson
Demonstrate: Instructor shows student
Student Performance: Student actively does
Instructor Supervision: Instructor observes and coaches
Evaluation: Instructor Judges performance
Positive Exchange of Controls: 3 Step Process.
There should never be any doubt on who has the flight controls and is flying the airplane.
Instructor says “You have the flight controls”
Student say “I have the flight controls”
Instructor says “You have the flight controls”
Sterile Cockpit (Flight deck):
Refrain from nonessential activities during critical phases of flight. Critical Phases: Taxi Takeoff Landing Below 10,000ft (Except when at cruise)
Use of Distractions:
Performing tasks secondary to controlling the airplane increases risk of inadvertent stall or spin.
Instructors can create Distractions while student if flying. It is the instructor’s duty to teach the student how to divide attention between distractions and flying the aircraft.
Example: Ask the student to get something from the backseat or to read outside air temperature, use chart to determine something, etc.
Integrated Flight Instruction:
A technique of flight instruction in which students are taught to perform maneuvers by reference to both flight instruments and outside visual reference.
It is used to help student form habits of observing and relying on flight instruments along with visual reference.
Assessment of Piloting Ability:
Assessment is an essential component of the teaching process and determines how what and how well a student is learning.
A well designed assessment provides student with something constructive
Assessment should provide direction and guidance
Student must understand purpose of assessment otherwise they will be unlikely to accept evaluation resulting in little improvement.
Types of assessments:
Review
Collaborative Assessments
Written Tests
Performance Based Tests
Aeronautical Decision Making:
Teach pilots to make good decisions! Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM). ADM is a systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to determine the best course of action in a given circumstance.
Decision making Process:
Define the problem
Choose Course of actions
Implement Decision
Evaluate Outcome
Factors Affecting ADM: Hazardous Attitudes
Anti-authority Impulsivity Invulnerability Macho Resignation
DECIDE Method:
Detect a change Estimate Need to React Choose Desirable Outcome Identify Actions Necessary Do Something Evaluate The Effect
