I've seen brilliant flashes of imaginative instruction from my CFIs.

How to use a simulator: any given flight lesson can be conducted in a sim the same way you would in the real airplane, right? Yes, but that's like using a hammer to put in a screw. There's a better way

These younger CFIs are usually very current and familiar with the airplanes they fly, and the training fleet is composed of the same or similar types.

Young or old instructors?

I also schedule those monthly recurring sessions with my friendly CFI, tackling a different problem each flight.

Rules to live by: airlines, charters and corporate flight departments have standard operating procedures. some GA pilots do, too, complete with a written document they rigorously follow

Afterwards, I talked to the CFI who explained the graveyard spiral.

Steam gauges are safer: you'd think technically advanced aircraft would be safer with all that in formation and fancy displays. Why they're not has a lot to do with how our brains work. But, there's hope

Elizabeth Bjerke, at the University of North Dakota, entitled "The Role of the CFI," Millennial CFIs do 96.

Old? or young? research into instructional accidents shows younger instructors are involved in far fewer fatals than older ones

One professional CFI, retired from instructing individual and two-pilot crews in everything from piston singles and single-pilot business jets to multiple-crew aircraft, stressed that the main problem repeatedly traces back to a lack of focus and distractions unrelated to the pilot's flying job.

Pre-flight follies: many in-flight problems can be traced back to an inadequate pre-flight inspection. Use a checklist, and watch for these common errors

I also found out when I got home that the Textron lawyers relented to reason and will allow passengers on flights that actually slip earth's surly bonds, but only sitting on the right and the CFI must do all the takeoffs and landings.

Unclear on the concept

metro area," said co-owner and CFI at Holladay Aviation, Meredith Holladay.

Navigating the sim thicket: simulating flight has come a long way since the first training devices and should figure prominently in any primary and recurrent flight training effort

The potential pilot would see a peer (sorry, no 20-something CFIs allowed) using an airplane just the way they've thought about doing.

Flight begins at 40, or maybe 50

But several CFIs opined that the standard is too rigid--excessive for some crosswinds, insufficient for others.

Crosswind considerations: knowing how to apply the basic techniques can help you decide how to handle them or park the plane and wait for better conditions

Most CFIs teaching in worn-out old Cherokees know that the brakes stink, and the doors are tough to close, but, hey, you don't make money canceling for non-essential items.

Stupid pilot tricks: every year we worry that the NTSB accident reports won't provide us with tales of pilots unencumbered by forethought. Every year, our fears are allayed

My students who later flew with other CFIs have told me I taught a conservative program.
