Hi;

I noticed a lot of plans have this format:



Lesson Objective

Threshold Knowledge Test Questions

Safety Issues:
Pilot Decision Making
Pre-Flight Brief

My question is, where does it say you need to follow this specific format and where did it come from? I am reading the FIG (TP 975E) and I don't seem to find it anywhere. Any ideas?

Thanks

Flight Instructor Guide Part I — Learning and Learning Factors — Instructional Techniques Summary and Guide

It's not broken down that simply, but essentially says the same thing.

Some of this also comes from the Flight Instructor Handbook, what the Armed Forces uses. You can find copies of it online (not current or so I'm told but does that really matter?)

It is a natural evolution.

• What do you want to learn today?
• Why is understanding it important to you?
• Where does it fit into your present knowledge?
• How does the instructor know if you really did your homework and grasp what you are about to do?
• Give'em the actual meat and potatoes part of the leson.
• If something goes wrong- what (and how) are you going to do?

Then, prior to jumping in for a drive, a quick verbal flight plan.

I understand that, however there is no way that so many instructors have the exact same format. Either one made it up and everyone else copied it, or this specific format was found in a book/guide that I cannot locate. That was my original question.

Canada trained some 50000 aircrew during the war. Most of the elements of instruction pertaining to Canadian Flying date back to this publication: The 1939 RCAF Sequence of Instruction.
