What this resource covers
The FAA’s Aviation Instructor’s Handbook organizes material on human behavior, communication, teaching, assessment, and planning instruction. Individual chapters are available from the official page.
For a helicopter lesson, turn an assigned objective into a short teaching plan: what the learner will explain, which example you will use, and how you will judge understanding. Review that plan with an instructor mentor.
What to explore
- Teaching and assessment reference
