CFI/II Lesson Plans

[ALIMBO]

The International Standard Aviation language IS ENGLISH. How do you plan to communicate with your students if you can’t speak ENGLISH? If you want to teach aviation you must know the requirements for certification. I’m not sure you are worth my time yet (since this is free Distance Learning for you) so please answer this question:

Riddle me this: What is the US Aviation English requirement and where do you find it? You must have learned this to have any FAA certificate.

Folks, please let him do this on his own. If he can’t find a simple requirement, how will he ever ensure that his students are prepared?

We are on a forum chill out. As for your question I have no clue. It's obviously not a big deal if the 6 or so instructors I've had never told me about it. On top of it if you don't wana give me advice thats fine you won't see me cry about it. Speaking english and writing on a forum are 2 different things. But if it makes you feel better to point out miniscule grammer mistakes then by all means go for it.

When I was first hired on as a green instructor, the only flights I did were covering for other instructors with students who were either close to solo, had already soloed or were certificated and needed a checkout. This made the teaching transition easier as the student already had some of the basics down. You just needed to point out this or that without being insecure about how well you're teaching this student from scratch.

Starting out, I also did a lot of intro flights as well. The school would set up instructors with the intro students and you'd take them up for 30 minutes or so and show them some basics. If the student continued the training, they were your student. It was up to you to keep up with them, making sure they flew and help secure financing if necessary.

Avbug may come across a little cantankerous, but he's fairly wise and experienced. You'll learn more by listening, rather than insulting him. Call it tough love. Understand that you come across a little arrogant around here and thats only natural. A lot of young aspiring pilots fit this mould. Some of what you get from Avbug or anyone else is a form of hazing of sorts. Most of what he says is for your own good though.

Thanks amish ya that would be so nice if I got to instruct the same way you did. The way my luck runs I wont have that. I'm going to get stuck with some poor PPL student that deserves better instruction than I can give. This is how I look at it. Today I landed from the right seat for pretty much the first time. I did decent the plane is still in one piece it was just a tad bit of a flat landing. But the intructor let me take it down all they way and guess what? I learned alot from that landing. But as a new CFI I know there is going to be a new PPL person that will scare me and I will take control because I'm not comfortable with how its lookin. But when you learn how to land you need that rough one or two landings to see what not to do. Ugh I'm so stressed.

No, some poor student may be stuck with you, and yes, the poor student does deserve better. You're right about that.

Ugh I'm so stressed.

Clearly. An admirable trait in a pilot.

As for your question I have no clue.

Again, this much is obvious.

It's obviously not a big deal if the 6 or so instructors I've had never told me about it.

Ah, well then. You've already learned everything, haven't you? If your six instructors didn't tell you, then you'll never need to know it. You've already been told everything you need to know, and if it hasn't been spoon-fed to you by these icons of aviation, then you really don't need to know it.

God help you if you ever fly anything more complex than a Cessna.

The learning process doesn't end with your six instructors. You're going to find yourself, if you last long enough, a student 20 years from now. I flew a 9 hour leg last night and learned before we started engines, and learned after we shut them down. If you think you know all you need to know based on what your six instructors told you, then you have a loud, very rude awakening coming. Get ready.

So far you've professed your knowledge of what's right or wrong with others instructing techniques (even started a thread about it, criticizing others), rambled about not needing to know anything your instructors haven't already told you, and in my case, wished I'd die and that my friends would die in airplane crashes...and you've managed to get one landing in from the right seat as a novice. How expert of you.

If you're seriously looking at becoming a flight instructor, where you lead by example, it's time to grow up, act a little more mature than a pissed off 14 year old, learn to behave professionally, and realize that you've got a LOT to learn.

People in this thread have taken the time to help you, and like most of your posts so far, you're too busy arguing to take what's given you and use it for your benefit. It's sometimes true that one can't give a drowning child a rope or a glass of water.

In the event you are not aware: you're the drowning child. Grow up, get out of the water and dry off. You're not in grade school any more.

Avbug,

You are the one that started the bashing here. This guy came on here looking for advice and you started beating him down. We have all been in his shoes. I know that I was nervous starting my CFI. Offer some good advice instead of bashing someone. These new CFI's might listen to you more. You seem to have a lot of knowledge that could be helpful to a new guy if it was presented better.

Hey UND thanks for the link ya I checked his page out before and its a great starting point.

I've learned its better to just laugh at him than listen. He's not the only instructor in the world that can help me and he's certainly not one I would ever go to thats for sure. Thanks for lettin me know you were nervous too. The more and more I talk to people it seems that they felt the same way as I do, which is comforting. I passed my II written so it's less weight on my shoulders. Anyways I guess I can keep posting day by day how class goes since I go every day of the week except for Christmas day.

Rather than giving you the answer, where do you think you could find it?
I'll even give you a hint. Its an advisory circular.

Fantastic post.

This seems to be the trend with these guys on here. For some reason they think that the aviation community is supposed to pay them homage for the intellectual "gifts" they give us. Bullcrap. The only thing they dish out to their "peons" is harassment and a condescending reference to one's flying abilities without having ever flown with them. Their behavior evokes these kind of reactions from forum members on purpose so that they may humiliate others in their effort to be the "superior". God forbid you should disagree, because you then lose all credibility with them and become an instantaneous moron.

Too bad it is all a facade boys. You are unintelligent, ignorant, and unprofessional even at your ripe old ages. People dislike you on here, and out there in the working world. You will continue to piss in everyones Cheerios until you die, because no one pilot will ever be a great or as knowledgable as you.

Good luck.

I know its in my aviation weather services book but I left it at school. Damn

 

[ALIMBO]

Hey Russian,

I orderd that cd-rom of cfi lesson plans and books thanks for the help I appreciate it. Avbug is Avbug we all know how he is thank god this forum is nameless or we might realize he could be that guy we despise at the airport o well.

 

[ALIMBO]

Your condescending attitude and overwhelming desire to piss on everybody has grown old and boring. Welcome to my ignore list.

I may be picking up your G1000 and 430/530 manuals they look excellent.

 

[avbug]

Looks like alimbo goes on the ignore list, too.
