Regretfully, FlightLiteracy (formerly FlightLearnings) will be turning out the lights after fifteen years. Google, in its infinite wisdom, has chosen to remove FlightLiteracy from its search results (the claim is that the content on this site is spam). We appealed their decision to shut us down, to no avail.

Unfortunately, since Google has a monopoly over internet search, this means that traffic levels on the site will drop to a level that makes maintaining it uneconomic. As time progresses, we will no longer be able to maintain the server space and will remove the site from the internet. Thanks to all who have supported us over the years.

To fight back against the monopolistic practices of companies like Google, we recommend using a competing search engine such as Brave (you get the added benefit of not being spied on by Big Tech) and advocating for anti-trust legislation from your representatives.

Instructor’s Code of Conduct

Filed Under: The Teaching Process

While many of the characteristics of effective instructors discussed in the previous paragraphs hold true for any instructor, the aviation instructor has the added responsibility of molding an aviation citizen—a pilot or maintenance technician the instructor feels confident will be an asset to the rest of the aviation community. The following code describes the concept of an aviation citizen.

An aviation instructor needs to remember he or she is teaching a pilot or technician who should:

  • Make safety the number one priority,
  • Develop and exercise good judgment in making decisions,
  • Recognize and manage risk effectively,
  • Be accountable for his or her actions,
  • Act with responsibility and courtesy,
  • Adhere to prudent operating practices and personal operating parameters, and
  • Adhere to applicable laws and regulations.

In addition, the Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) needs to remember he or she is teaching a pilot who should:

  • Seek proficiency in control of the aircraft,
  • Use flight deck technology in a safe and appropriate way,
  • Be confident in a wide variety of flight situations, and
  • Be respectful of the privilege of flight.

The teaching process organizes the material an instructor wishes to teach in such a way that the learner understands what is being taught. The teaching process consists of four steps: preparation, presentation, application, and assessment. Regardless of the teaching or training delivery method used, the teaching process remains the same. To be effective, an instructor utilizes people skills, subject matter expertise, management skills, and assessment skills.

This chapter explores the teaching process in general terms of how to prepare, present, apply, and assess lesson material. Teaching methods or training delivery methods are discussed, as well as the use of instructional aids.
