So many pilots get it in their mind that go-arounds on a check ride are frowned upon, when in reality it's quite the opposite! The other oversight in training is that each specific approach and landing have their own techniques that need to be adhered to. We discuss all of this in this weeks episode!

Today we talk about the differences between narration and actually teaching. Simply saying what you're doing doesn't convey all the information our learners need to know. We need to continue to incorporate the concepts of "what, why and how" into everything we do to help our learners fully embrace and understand the topics of flight training.

The Normalization of Deviance is inherent to human nature, but it is something that we has CFIs and pilots need to do our best to mitigate at all times!

The What, Why, How method is the basic structure I use for teaching almost anything! It's a great model that can be used both in the classroom and in the airplane. If you're an aspiring or current CFI, try this method out when teaching your students and let me know what you think!

A great question was brought up by one of my viewers on Youtube about how much ownership should students be taking in their own flight training. Join us today as we discuss the answer to this question and the dynamics between a student and an instructor.

The Lazy 8 is not only one of my favorite commercial maneuvers, but is by far the HARDEST maneuver you will ever have to do on a check ride. Today we discuss the intricacies of this maneuver in an effort to help you understand and fly it better in the plane!

I have always said that the PAVE acronym is the acronym to rule all other acronyms! It doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves, so today I breakdown how I use the PAVE acronym and show you just how useful it can be!

In our final edition of our ACS breakdown for your private pilot oral exam, we are discussing task H, Human Factors. Human factors are one of the most overlooked subjects in training, yet there is a lot to know and consider when evaluating our own airworthiness and fitness to fly. Hopefully after listening to this episode, you'll have a much greater understanding of what we truly need to be attentive to when evaluating ourselves and how to more effectively flight plan to keep us and our passengers safe for each flight.

Today we're discussing aircraft SYSTEMS! This is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood subjects in pilot training, but with a little explanation, I think you'll find it's a lot simpler than you might have initially thought.
