About This Course

Topic: Join Jason Archer For A Solution-Oriented Discussion About How We Can Improve The Culture Of Flight Education

Now more than ever, the aviation industry needs flight instructors to conduct themselves as aviation educators. As the training pipeline accelerates and quality of instruction suffers in measurable ways, a cultural shift is required in how we view the profession, how we mentor new instructors, and how we conduct ourselves with and around students. "Good enough" isn't really good enough, and leaves little to no margin for safety or performance. Join career aviation educator Jason Archer for a solution-oriented discussion about how we can improve the culture of flight instruction by combating professional apathy, one instructor, and one interaction at a time.
