520 After passing the FAA's Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI)
knowledge test required of all instructors, the true
challenge begins -- applying that knowledge in the real
world of teaching flight. Follow along as Arlynn McMahon
lifts the FOI principles from the classroom and brings
them into the cockpit. Her forty-four stories demonstrate
the FOI principles in flight and offer practical
strategies for dealing with both common and unexpected
situations -- all with wisdom, grace, and humor. McMahon's
companion to the Aviation Instructor's Handbook (FAA-H-
8083-9) uses memorable parables and provides sage advice
to illustrate FOI principles at work with real clients in
real-life situations. Psychology, human factors,
professionalism, effective communication, customer service,
and ethics are evident in her teaching style with the
people she's interacted with over decades in the business
of flight training. McMahon's experiences illustrate what
works -- and why -- for instructors and their students.
Through artful storytelling, McMahon shows how a
successful instructor is sometimes a psychologist, other
times a detective, and always a gatekeeper enforcing rules
and cultivating the behaviors required to be a responsible
aviation citizen. Delightful, full of wisdom -- and
written with humor, kindness, and dignity for her students
-- this is an invaluable guide for all flight and ground
instructors who will benefit from using McMahon's insights
with their own clients.
