FI Manuals & pre-course reading
I know this has been discussed before because I've read it and unless I've started to hallucinate the contents of Pprune it was of interest...
But...can anyone recommend (or denounce) any of the flying instructor manuals that are out there for pre-FI course reading?
e.g. Instructional Techniques for the Flight Instructor: John Halstead, Alan Newton
Or The Flying Instructor's Patter Manual: Peter Phillips, Robert Cole Etc.
I hope I'm not just searching incorrectly when I miss it!
Thanks, CS.

The Campbell 'Flight Instructor's Manual is OK but the best book you'll get will be the notes that you get when you do the course.
I doubt if many palces will release their notes except to people who have handed over money - why should they give away material that has cost them plenty to put together?

Pre FIC
The best planning prior to FIC is to refresh your knowledge on AGK, Law, Met erc. I use the AOPA syllabus. Think about how you could explain things to somebody with little or no knowledge. Read through Pratt or Thom vol 1 to refresh the basics of flying technique.
As far as patter goes, I record all lessons to MP3. Its the best way to learn.
Enjoy the course.

The RD Campbell book is good, but most of all make sure you know P.O.F inside and out, i passed ATPL P.O.F first time but only really began to understand it on my FI course.....

Unless you haven't booked on a course yet - I would suggest asking the FIC instructor where you are going.
Any FIC instructor worth their salt will help you out as it makes their life easier when you begin the course!

......and if you are interested on how to teach you could always download free the "Aviation Instructor´s Handbook" from the FAA web site. It does go into the subject in great depth and I would not recomend reading it in one bash.
