Course Description
Intended Outcomes for the course
- Fly and teach required instrument procedures to FAA Practical Test Standards from the right (instructor) seat.
- Qualify to apply for and take the FAA Flight Instructor Instrument practical test.
- Provide safe, high-quality flight instruction to students seeking FAA Pilot Instrument Certificates or seeking instrument proficiency training.
Course Activities and Design
This course will consist of the scenarios and lessons contained in the CFI Instrument Instructor syllabus necessary to qualify for the Instrument Instructor practical test.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
At the Beginning of the course, the instructor will detail the methods used to evaluate and record student progress and the criteria for assigning a course
grade. Evaluation methods will include written, oral, and practical testing. Learner-centered grading will be used by the student’s individual Flight Instructor on each lesson. The student will also be assessed by a senior Flight Instructor at the end of the course. The instructor will immediately grade the end-of-course check, and if necessary, have students complete a review and retake of the exam, until a minimum score of 70% is achieved. Evaluation levels will target those defined by the FAA Flight Instructor Practical Test Standards, and required under 14CFR 141, FAA Approved Training Course.
