Aviation Instructor's Handbook FAA Plus Advanced Avionics Handbook FAA

TWO Aviation Handbooks combine into one book! Aviation Instructor's Handbook: Designed for ground instructors, flight instructors, and aviation maintenance instructors, the Aviation Instructor’s Handbook was developed by the Flight Standards Service, Airman Testing Standards Branch, in cooperation with aviation educators and industry to help beginning instructors understand and apply the fundamentals of instruction. This handbook provides aviation instructors with up-to-date information on learning and teaching, and how to relate this information to the task of teaching aeronautical knowledge and skills to students. Experienced aviation instructors will also find the updated information useful for improving their effectiveness in training activities. Chapters include: Human Behavior; The Learning Process; Effective Communication; The Teaching Process; Planning Instructional Activity; Assessment; Instructor Responsibilities and Professionalism; Techniques of Flight Instruction; Risk Management; Appendix: References; Developing a Test Item Bank; Certificates, Ratings, and Endorsements; Personal Minimums Checklist; Flight Instructor Endorsements; Relationships of Decision-Making Models; Glossary; Index PLUS: The Advanced Avionics Handbook is a new publication designed to provide general aviation users with comprehensive information on advanced avionics equipment available in technically advanced aircraft. This handbook introduces the pilot to flight operations in aircraft with the latest integrated “glass cockpit” advanced avionics systems. The arrival of new technology to general aviation aircraft has generated noticeable changes in three areas: information, automation, and options. Advanced avionics systems can automatically perform many tasks that pilots and navigators previously did by hand. For example, an area navigation (RNAV) or flight management system (FMS) unit accepts a list of points that define a flight route, and automatically performs most of the course, distance, time, and fuel calculations. Once en route, the FMS or RNAV unit can continually track the position of the aircraft with respect to the flight route, and display the course, time, and distance remaining to each point along the planned route. Chapters include: Introduction to Advanced Avionics; Electronic Flight Instruments; Navigation; Automated Flight Control; Information Systems; Essential Skills Checklist; Glossary
