Hi All. I'm working on my first lesson plan. It is to be on the propeller system, specifically the constant speed McCauley in the 172RG. I am to include information on propeller theory, constant speed theory, and information on the gauges and controls inside the cockpit. I was hoping some of you could give me an idea of how complete this lesson should be.
Should this lesson be taught differently to a commercial applicant than to a private pilot looking for a complex endorsement? Should I teach everything I know on the subject? Or, do I try to simplify as greatly as I can and let the student's (or instructor's) questions dictate how in-depth I need to go?
I think what I'm asking is: If the goal of a lesson is not to teach the student everything you know about a subject, then what should your goal be when teaching a student a new subject?
Thanks.
