FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR SPECIAL EMPHASIS PROGRAMSPECIAL EMPHASIS PROGRAM

The North Florida FSDO has oversight responsibility for the largest volume of flight training and pilot certification activity within the purview of the Federal Aviation Administration


January 10, 2008


This volume of activity provides a unique perspective regarding the direct relationship between the quality of flight training and aviation safety.


January 10, 2008


Such volume of activity also provides a unique opportunity to positively influence flight training and aviation safety.


January 10, 2008


In response to a high number of flight training accidents and incidents, the Flight Instructor Special Emphasis Program was initiated.

Program began September 1, 1998 Has evolved into one of the most important

activities conducted by the North Florida Flight Standards District Office.


January 10, 2008


Program Goals

Improve the quality of flight training within the flight schools

Increase awareness among flight instructors of their instructional responsibilities

Reduce the number of flight training accidents and incidents


January 10, 2008


Designed to provide more direct and focused FAA involvement with the Flight Training Community.

• Accomplished in a positive, educationally oriented manner.

CAUSAL FACTORS

• Increased volume of flight training activity• Increased helicopter training activity• Helicopters are “less forgiving” of student error• Introduction of Light Sport Aircraft• Airlines hiring flight instructors at record rate• Flight schools unable to retain flight instructors• Less experienced flight instructors conducting training• Initial CFI no longer “traditional” ASEL

EXAMINER RESPONSIBILITIESEXAMINER RESPONSIBILITIES

Examiner Special Emphasis Initiatives

• Place increased emphasis upon landings and go- arounds during practical tests at all certificate levels.

• Place significant emphasis upon proper instructional techniques and demonstration of landings and go-arounds during flight instructor practical tests.

• Develop scenario based questions applicable to flight instructor responsibilities associated with supervising student solo flights.

• Test flight instructor “student error” intervention.
