The Flight Instructor Manual uses over 1,000 full-color photos and illustrations to help you turn your passion for flying into your profession. The manual presents complete and concise explanations of training techniques that every pilot seeking a basic flight instructor certificate and/or an instrument or multi-engine instructor rating needs to know. Subjects are often expanded upon through the use of Discovery Insets, which are strategically placed throughout the chapters. POV Insets provide examples, from a flight instructor's point of view, of how learning and teaching concepts can be applied in real-world training situations.

Periodically, human factors principles are presented in Human Element Insets to help you teach your students about how their minds and bodies function in flight. Throughout the manual, concepts that directly relate to FAA test questions are described in FAA Question Insets. To help you review material more effectively, key terms are highlighted throughout the text and listed at the end of each chapter along with a checklist, which summarizes important concepts. Additionally, you can evaluate your understanding of material introduced in a particular section by completing the associated questions at the end of each chapter.

The new and updated fourth edition of The Flight Instructor’s Manual is an invaluable reference for those working on the flight instructor’s certificate and serves as an indispensable guide for the new instructor. Both experienced and newly certified flight instructors can turn to this excellent resource for information about the problems students and more advanced pilots will encounter.

The book is organized so that each chapter can be used as a stand-alone reference for a particular phase of instruction. The information parallels the material presented in The Student Pilot’s Flight Manual, The Advanced Pilot’s Flight Manual, The Basic Aerobatic Manual, and The Instrument Flight Manual, allowing The Flight Instructor’s Manual to serve as "how to instruct" guide rather than a detailed text on the basics.

It is the ambition of many private pilots to become a flying instructor, and it is a very common component in the career paths of many on their way to a position as a commercial pilot. But although manuals exist setting out what should be taught and when, this is the first book to look at how to be a good instructor - one who can prove an asset to his or her school, inspire students and keep the bookings coming. Covering every aspect of the job, this book will be required reading for anyone considering taking up instruction, or any established instructor wishing to hone his or her professional skills.
