  • Chapter 1: Introduction To Flying › Becoming a Pilot

    aeronautical knowledge, such as the principles of flight, a student pilot is also required to gain skill in flight maneuvers. The selected category and class of aircraft determines the type of flight skills and number of flight hours ... obtained. There are four steps involved in learning a flight maneuver: • The CFI introduces and demonstrates flight maneuver to the student. • The CFI talks the student pilot through the maneuver. • The student pilot practices the maneuver under CFI supervision…

  • Chapter 5: The Teaching Process › Preparation of a Lesson › The Importance of the ACS in Aviation Training Curricula

    Content validity means that a particular maneuver or procedure closely mimics what is required in actual flying. Criterion validity means that the completion standards for the test are reflective of acceptable standards. For example, in flight training, content validity ... reflected by a particular maneuver closely mimicking a maneuver required in actual flight, such as the learner pilot being able to recover from a power-off stall. Criterion validity means that the completion standards for the test are reflective…

  • Chapter 6: Assessment › Authentic Assessment › Maneuver or Procedure “Grades”

    Maneuver or Procedure “Grades” ⦁ Describe—at the completion of the scenario, the learner is able to describe the physical characteristics and cognitive elements of the scenario activities but needs assistance to execute the maneuver or procedure successfully. ⦁ Explain ... activity and understand the underlying concepts, principles, and procedures that comprise the activity, but needs assistance to execute the maneuver or procedure successfully. ⦁ Practice—at the completion of the scenario, the learner is able to plan and execute the scenario…

  • Chapter 7: Planning Instructional Activity › Lesson Plans › Lesson Plan Formats

    wind direction plus velocity. This explanation is followed by a demonstration and repeated practice of a specific flight maneuver, such as turns around a point or S-turns across the road until the maneuver can be consistently accomplished ... heading, altitude, and airspeed. At the end of this lesson, the learner is only capable of practicing the maneuver with assistance from the instructor. The traditional type of training lesson plan with its focus on the task and maneuver…

  • Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Load Factors › Load Factors and Flight Maneuvers

    Spins Load Factors and Flight Maneuvers Critical load factors apply to all flight maneuvers except unaccelerated straight flight where a load factor of 1 G is always present. Certain maneuvers considered in this section are known to involve relatively high ... load factors. Full application of pitch, roll, or yaw controls should be confined to speeds below the maneuvering speed. Avoid rapid and large alternating control inputs, especially in combination with large changes in pitch, roll, or yaw (e.g., large sideslip…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Integrated Flight Instruction › Development of Habit Patterns

    Integrated Flight Instruction Integrated flight instruction is flight instruction during which learners are taught to perform flight maneuvers both by outside visual references and by reference to flight instruments. For this type of instruction to be fully effective ... instrument references should begin the first time each new maneuver is introduced. No distinction in the pilot’s operation of the flight controls is permitted, regardless of whether outside references or instrument indications are used for the performance…
