This document outlines topics to be covered in an instructor training course, including instructor basics, the appropriate attitude for instructors, the roles of trainers and examiners, the learning process, needs of trainees and trainers, obstacles to effective training, and threat and error management. The goal of the training is to adequately equip participants to meet the challenges of being an instructor. Key aspects of effective instruction discussed are using the trainee's experience, facilitating active participation, and understanding that adults learn best when they see a purpose.

The Appropriate Attitude?
You are disappointed with pre
flight briefings. It is just as
easy to discuss in the air.
You strictly follow the
syllabus, regardless of student
progress?
You are very good at telling
your students what went
wrong. You see everything?
Your way is the only
way. You are never
wrong?
If your trainee comes unprepared
and doesn’t know his stuff that’s his
problem, not yours.

The Role Of The Examiner
The Examiner’s basic function is to ensure

operate, his performance is of a standard
required by the Examiner’s company and the
CAA.

Management – The Concept
“Defensive flying for pilots”

Threat Definition
Occurs outside the influence of the crew
Increases the operational complexity
Requires crew attention if safety margins are to
be maintained
26. Can be divided into two categories:

Threats
Environmental Flight Operational
29. 29
Error Definition
Flight crew actions or inactions that:
Lead to a deviation from crew intentions or expectations
Reduce safety margins
Increase the probability of adverse operational events
30. 30
Errors
Flight crew errors can be divided into three types:
Procedural
