  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Demonstration-Performance Training Delivery Method › Learner Performance and Instruction Supervision Phases

    Demonstration Phase The instructor demonstrates the actions necessary to perform a skill and may describe the actions simultaneously. The instructor avoids extraneous activity as much as possible so that learners get a clear understanding of the task ... closely conform to the explanation, this deviation should be immediately acknowledged and explained. Figure 9-6. The demonstration-performance method of teaching has four essential phases. Learner Performance and Instruction Supervision Phases As discussed in Chapter 5, The Teaching Process…

  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance Charts

    Performance Charts Performance charts allow a pilot to predict the takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing performance of an aircraft. These charts, provided by the manufacturer, are included in the AFM/POH. Information the manufacturer provides on these charts has been gathered ... while using average piloting skills, and with the aircraft and engine in good working order. Engineers record the flight data and create performance charts based on the behavior of the aircraft during the test flights. By using these performance charts…

  • Chapter 2: Aerodynamics of Flight › Forward Flight › Airflow in Forward Flight

    blade continues to rotate, velocity of the airflow then increases to rotational velocity over the tail. It continues to increase until the blade is back at the 3 o’clock position. The advancing blade in Figure 2-35, position ... moves in the same direction as the helicopter. The velocity of the air meeting this blade equals rotational velocity of the blade plus wind velocity resulting from forward airspeed. The retreating blade (position C) moves in a flow…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Demonstration-Performance Training Delivery Method › Explanation Phase

    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 ... very 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…

  • Chapter 5: The Teaching Process › Demonstration-Performance Method

    group, as necessary, to keep it on track or to encourage everyone in the group to participate. Demonstration-Performance Method Best used for the mastery of mental or physical skills that require practice, the demonstration-performance method is based ... flight instructor who uses it in teaching piloting skills. Every instructor should recognize the importance of learner performance in the process. Early in demonstration and performance lesson, the instructor should identify the most important learning outcomes. Next, explain and demonstrate…
