  Demonstration-Performance Training Delivery Method The demonstration-performance training delivery method was discussed briefly in Chapter 5, The Teaching Process, but the following in-depth discussion is geared to the flight instructor. This training method has been ... effective in teaching kinesthetic skills so flight instructors find it valuable in teaching procedures and maneuvers. The demonstration-performance method is divided into four phases: explanation, demonstration, learner performance with instructor supervision, and evaluation. [Figure 9-6] Explanation Phase…

  aircraft’s response to the pilot’s control application when maneuvering the aircraft, regardless of its stability characteristics. Longitudinal Stability (Pitching) In designing an aircraft, a great deal of effort is spent in developing the desired degree of stability around ... three axes. But longitudinal stability about the lateral axis is considered to be the most affected by certain variables in various flight conditions. Longitudinal stability is the quality that makes an aircraft stable about its lateral axis. It involves…
