Flight Instructor Books
Hi!
I've just started an FI course and was wondering if anyone could recommend any books to read which would assist in the course and when instructing - and if they have the books and wanted to sell them on!
Many thanks,
Andy

Ron Campbell's FI Manual
I tried getting hold of a copy of this last week. It's still on order, but a delivery date isn't certain.
I also bought the 'latest' Air Law book, Aviation Law for Pilots, tenth edition, by Underdown & Palmer, but there are several things in there that I know are out-of-date, so, apart from reading the ANO & AIP, is there a more recent digest of current Air Law?
Cheers,

Campbell's book is outdated. For a more up to date reference try the instructor's notes published by Ontrack Aviation www.ontrackaviation.com They are based on the CFS instructor guides and are vastly superior to anything else IMHO. A bit more expensive, but worth it.

I think that this book is very interesting: "The flying Instructors Patter Manual" by Peter Phillips and Robert Cole - Airlife Publishing Ltd.
In this book you can find terms and language useful when you demonstrate training exercises. It helped me in some occasion...
Ciao!!!

I have Campbell, the Patter Manual and the OnTrack notes. Both the former are interesting and extremely useful reading and will be a great benefit. I instruct part-time though, so the only way I can ensure decent personal standardisation after a long period away is to brief directly from a set of notes and IMHO the OnTrack notes are as good as a non-CFS person is ever likely to come across.
I'm not linked with them in any way but I'm happy to recommend their paperwork.
