About this listen
Your flight instructor certificate, explained by someone who has sat in the right seat.
Ready to trade the left seat for the right? Cleared to Teach is a warm, witty and thoroughly practical guide to earning your flight instructor certificate, written by Evelyn Schmidt Van Dyck, a longtime flight instructor and former FAA Designated Pilot Examiner who has spent years in the right seat watching pilots learn and new instructors teach. She explains what the regulations actually say, what the examiner is really looking for, and how to turn the flying you already know into teaching that sticks, without losing your sense of humor.
The companion to Cleared for Takeoff, Cleared for the Approach, Cleared for Hire and Cleared for Two, this book picks up where your commercial certificate left off and takes you all the way to the CFI checkride and your first learners.
PART ONE: PREPARING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE TESTS
What a flight instructor can and can't do, and who is eligible to become one, in plain English. You'll learn the Fundamentals of Instructing the way you'll actually use them: how people learn, how instructors teach, risk management, and assessing learners fairly. You'll also see the technical subjects from the teacher's side, master the endorsements and records that keep you and your learners legal, and find out exactly how the FOI and FIA knowledge tests work and how to prepare for both.
PART TWO: LEARNING TO TEACH FROM THE RIGHT SEAT
Moving to the right seat, lesson plans that survive contact with the airplane, the first lessons, takeoffs and landings, performance and ground reference maneuvers, slow flight and stalls (including the demonstration stalls), spin training and the spin endorsement, basic instruments and emergencies, and the human being in the left seat: nerves, plateaus, debriefs, the pre-solo knowledge test and that unforgettable first solo.
