instructor books

[muck-savage]

Hi,

Is there any book that I can buy that contains all the pre flight briefings exercise 1-20 and also contains diagrams to help explain to the student ?

Thanks

Well, I was recommended to buy Mr R.D Campbell weighty tomb called 'Flight Instructors Manual'. Turned out to be a marvellous bookend that only cost £30. This book is far too wordy and seems to be written in an era when handlebar moustache's and pipe smoker of the year awards were all the rage.
Personally, I found that the PPL Flight Training book from your man J.Pratt is as good a guide to instructors as it is to students. There are good diagrams of each and every exercise with clear and concise text. It is written in a way that is easy to follow and presents the info in a Janet and John way that even us instructors can understand.

But you didn't 'cos grave robbing is illegal

Or could that be 'tome'.

Sorry, Gus, couldn't resist that.

But Campell is excellent as a reference book.

e.g. If one lesson isn't as you would wish, read the Campbell chapter on it.

I still haven't found time to read the whole book - but on a "dipping in" basis it is excellent.

Try Pooleys Pre-flight Briefings, got most of what you need in a good layout for passing the test.
Also use the Campbells for sound knowledge, although takes a great deal of effort to read.

Australia's CAA used to publish a smallish book called 'The Flight Instuctor's Manual' (or similar). Inexpensive but a good primer. Even if the lessons aren't exactly in accordance with the UK system they'll be close enough to be useful.

Should be dirt cheap at UKz exchange rates.

Mr R.D Campbell 'Flight Instructors Manual'

Makes a useful step when clearing your windscreen of dead flies.

If you cant find a rag there are plenty of surplus pages that can be ripped out as well. Just mind you dont scratch the perspex.

In addition to the Pooleys Pre- flight briefings, there is a spiral bound document "Instructors Guide to Pre-flight briefings" that expands on the teaching points for the instructor. Plus the Pre-flight briefings are also available on OHPs and as Powerpoint CD Rom.
