Topic: This Program Will Cover How Simulation Can Be Leveraged To Improve Instructional And Learning Effectiveness.
Flight instructors are the backbone of the aviation industry. The Fundamentals of Instruction is a good starting point, but practical instruction techniques are typically left to the new CFI to discover. When a new CFI provides educational training, it tends to be delivered by the instructor’s employer and is one of the major challenges facing flight training organizations. Instructors that are skilled educators utilizing an organization wide training syllabus deliver better student outcomes which in turn leads to better business outcomes for the organization. In this broadcast we’ll cover how simulation can be leveraged to improve instructional quality at scale, and how small to mid-sized flight schools can deliver best-in-class student outcomes by focusing on equipping their CFIs with the right skills, techniques, and tools.
