Gordon C. Henrie
Instructional Methods for Flight Instructors
And ways to improve the precision, safety and confidence of rated pilots.
About the book
Built around judgment, technique and real-world flying
In my years of flying, teaching flying, and giving FAA flight checks, I found that many techniques and procedures are not being taught to students and, consequently, are not known by many pilots.
This book is not designed to be a question-and-answer book to help you pass a written or oral exam. It is designed to help you see situations in flight and know how to respond to them, developing the confidence and skills needed to meet complex situations.
One reading will not do it. It requires reading, studying, application and practice to bring your skills and abilities to the point where you can be the very best pilot you are capable of being.
