PREFACE 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. While this handbook primarily uses the traditional term “student” to denote someone who is seeking certification in aviation, the accepted term in educational psychology is “learners.” This handbook supersedes FAA-H-8083-9, Aviation Instructor’s Handbook, dated 1999. This handbook may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402-9325, or from the GPO website: http://bookstore.gpo.gov This handbook is also available for download, in PDF format, from the Regulatory Support Division (AFS-600) website: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/afs/afs600 Current Flight Standards Service airman training and testing material and subject matter knowledge codes for all instructor certificates and ratings can be obtained from AFS-600 at www.faa.gov.
