ASA The Flight Instructor’s Manual

Each chapter is organized as a stand-alone reference for a specific phase of flight instruction. This makes the manual useful as a practical how-to guide throughout different stages of a student’s training. Topics include fundamentals of flight instruction (FOI), presolo instruction, private pilot training, advanced VFR instruction, and instrument instruction.

The manual also covers specialized areas of instruction. It includes an introduction to aerobatic instruction, a comprehensive spin syllabus, and material on multi-engine airplanes. Additional sections address instructing international students, teaching ground school, and setting up tests.
