The initial Class 3 Flight Instructor Rating shall be issued valid to the first day of the twenty-fifth month following the month in which the most recent instructor flight test was conducted. the way i see it is you will expire if upgrading from a class 4 the fist day of the 25 month folloing the ...

yeah thats the way i do it i was just wondering how people like the one on one approach. you really miss out on seeing others tricks and tips. it can be long some days but i think its best. we used to charge a flat rate for ground school and they usually would get much more than they paid for as wel...

everyone does it a bit diff i guess we were in a big group setting and had about 60 hours or more. I understand the 25 is a minimum but schools are quoting 25 hours and no mention of possible extra time. are people covering thats needed to pass the exam and learn what they need to be a quality instr...

what do you use at your school for simulators or ftd's and how are they working for you?

They used to be direct competition for the old school i worked for. but that school in cyyt is now closed. they seem to be really moving up in course offerings and quality. they had a great cfi who left and then came back which improved the school greatly he is no longer cfi but still in the company...

how have you been given instructor ground school or been teaching it if you are a class 1? i'm just curious of how people find each type works for them and their students. I notice many flight schools only quote 25 hours ground briefings! no ground school. and how many give out a copy of complete br...

i would have to agree with most comments here other than class 1 losing their basic skills. most of these folks are teaching instructor ratings which are made up them passing on their knowledge of abintio training to class IV's candidates. personality is one of the biggest factors, they have the ski...

my advice is leave it with them! get copies when pages are full! there will be 2 ways to replace it if its lost your log so it keep it neat and safe and the schools daily flight logs which you can see if you ask nice! the way i see it is if they lose it they should have to do all the work to replace...

I would say that if you have to take the journey log according to TC beyond 25nm or landing other than departure you should log the time. like said a person has said above you have taken some time to plan as well! If you are using it towards a lic sign off the person at your school who will do the s...

There is a post in the flight instruction form about those notes and other books.

Canadian Flight Notes : Air excercises and lesson plans for FT
(pocket size By Jack Proctor, Canadian Centre for Aviation Training)

I think the author is named proctor. did they have a yellow cover?

i will check at home for my copy and send any info i find!

Flight Instructor Guide (FIG) gives all the content Transport will look for in your book and ground briefings.

Human Factors books are good.

Illustrated guide to aerodynamics.

The aerocourse is an excellent book so don't discard it because of the question and answer format. Use all the questions to guide your study, if you do not know the answer look it up. you will learn alot this way by just reading to find your answer. this has worked well for most students i have enco...

Thanks for the input!

Anyone have any idea of how many or where to find how many class 1,2,3 and 4 instructors there are in canada with current ratings. Broken down by class.
