The purpose of this book is to provide information, help and guidance to anyone starting work as a flying instructor, or working towards this qualification. It is intended to complement the Flight Instructor Course by focusing on the practicalities of actually doing the job, rather than on the content of each individual flying lesson.

Subjects including organization and planning, professionalism, and interaction with students are covered, using examples of real-life situations to offer sound, practical advice. General information on how to use time effectively and how to ensure that students get the most from their lessons is offered, as well as specific details such as suggestions for topics of conversation to hold during a particulary quiet trial lesson!
