AER 3010 - Certified Flight Instructor: Ground


6 cr

This capstone course builds upon the student’s extensive Commercial Pilot knowledge by adding the instructional skills of a professional Flight Instructor. Strong emphasis is on the fundamentals of instructing and scenario-based training. Through the creation of weekly lesson plans delivered in the classroom with peers and in the broader community, the student builds confidence in their aviation knowledge and delivery. The student explores and understands their own learning and teaching styles and recognizes and supports individual learners. Concepts, techniques, procedural training methods, and adult learning is augmented with applied activities aimed at developing an efficient, effective CFI equipped to provide individualized one-on-one training. Emphasis is placed on the learning “individual” and the judgment needed for this high-risk environment. Students may begin flying with a senior CFI (AER 3020 ) and prepare to step into their first job as a professional flight instructor.
