New CFI “Survival Tools”
https://bit.ly/CFI-Survive
A new temporary CFI certificate only assures that a CFI is safe in the right seat! (not necessarily an “effective educator!”) Like all other FAA certificates, this is a “license to learn.” And some skills necessary to pass the FAA practical test actually make a new CFI a terrible instructor. “Micro-managing” the controls and radio are the most important bad habits a new CFI must overcome ASAP. TV
The critical idea to embrace is that
the new CFI cert. is NOT a pilot certificate! This new privilege makes you an “educator.” *Your learner* should be handling the controls and talking on the radio.
SAFE’s CFI-PRO™️ supplies the “Missing Manual” for new CFIs with lots of tips and techniques from years of experience. Our FREE SAFE Toolkit App is a great place to sample these tools.
The new FAA MOSAIC proposes a HUGE increase in sport pilot privileges with no increase in training or required experience (red flag!) https://bit.ly/SAFE-MOSAIC What do *YOU* think? #SAFEblog #SAFEtoolkit #CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots
These are essential “pilot tools” when things suddenly turn bad (but many pilots never learned or forgot)! Every CFI must teach *beyond* (minimal) test standards - MAKE SAFE PILOTS! #SAFEtoolkit #CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots
