Beginning or part-time flight instructors (CFIs) are not always fully
aware of what to expect as a student pilot progresses through the flight
training process. In Teaching Flight, author LeRoy Cook lends his halfcentury
of experience as a guide to motivate, inspire, and mentor new
instructors.
Though airplane and cockpit technology has changed over time, the
basics of flying remain and must be mastered all the same. To make the
process less daunting for both student and instructor, Cook organizes
training into four phases and advises how to work through each one:
solo flight; dual and solo cross-country; passing the knowledge exam;
and passing the checkride. With the goal of creating a new aviator,
Cook’s lessons take flight training beyond the mandated curriculum to
give instructors the tools to provide pilots practical flying know-how.
Flight instructors following his steps will find a mentor in LeRoy
Cook, while taking their students from first flight through certification.
Teaching Flight offers a plethora of ideas for instructors to keep their
students inspired, encouraged, confident, and competent on their road
to earning a certificate and rating.
