KA Local Training or management pilots?
Gnadenburg wrote on another thread:
"I am all for local training captains though there is a glaring lack of knowledge and depth, beyond very limited Airbus manuals that have been in evolution and just plain wrong so often! Any aspiring local training captain, get some knowledge depth. Can you brief a single Engine Visual approach? Merits and limits of rudder authority in an upset? Debate x-w techniques and Airbus FBW?"
How about:
1. The desire to help others further their aviation career, the natural instructor has always been keen and able to relate to trainee needs.
Instructor must adapt to fit in with the trainee's style - remember the training is centered around the trainee not the trainer.
2. To create a suitable Learning Environment for the trainee, pitch your training at the trainee's level.
3.To empathize with the trainee, sit down, put yourself on his level - Empathize and structure the training program accordingly in order to meet the required goals.
4. Impart knowledge where appropriate and suggest strategies to overcome difficulties encountered during the learning progress.
4. Be patient, a good Communicator, creative and resourceful, flexible, positive and encouraging, non-threatening.
5. Clarity - in Communications, don't rush, be able to direct trainees to specific references in the Ops Manual in order to aid study.
6. Over-motivation can have negative effects - trainee's feel they are being pushed too hard.
7. Asking questions based on unrealistic scenarios are likely to create resentment

Yes, a little ungentlemanly, but thanks for dragging me from another thread, out of context, as your straw man.
But otherwise superb. A framework for a positive adult learning environment.

Remember, instruction is not science, it is an art.
We can all recall an instructor who was natural, given to getting the best out of
his trainees. Yet at the same time we can recall a poor instructor who taught
us very little whilst at the same time destroying our confidence.
Many local pilots will make great training captains and managers, good luck!
