New CFI “Survival Tools”
https://bit.ly/CFI-Survive
A new temporary CFI certificate only assures that a CFI is safe in the right seat! (not necessarily an “effective educator!”) Like all other FAA certificates, this is a “license to learn.” And some skills necessary to pass the FAA practical test actually make a new CFI a terrible instructor. “Micro-managing” the controls and radio are the most important bad habits a new CFI must overcome ASAP. TV
The critical idea to embrace is that
the new CFI cert. is NOT a pilot certificate! This new privilege makes you an “educator.” *Your learner* should be handling the controls and talking on the radio.
SAFE’s CFI-PRO™️ supplies the “Missing Manual” for new CFIs with lots of tips and techniques from years of experience. Our FREE SAFE Toolkit App is a great place to sample these tools.
