1. You are likely to be discouraged when you discover that a well-planned lesson does not teach all students with equal effectiveness. Usually, however, you soon see that this is natural. One manifestation of the difference among students is that they seldom learn at the same rate. Differences in rates of learning are based on differences in intelligence, background, experience, interest, desire to learn, and countless psychological, emotional, and physical factors. You must recognize that students are different.

GROUND SCHOOL POINTS

Flight Manual and any manufacturer's training publication.

Power plant manufacturer's publications.

Turbine/piston theory as appropriate.

PREPARATORY INSTRUCTION

Aim

For the student to learn how to convert safely and effectively from one type of helicopter to another.

Motivation

Each instructor should:

GROUND SCHOOL POINTS

Flight Manual - engine, transmission and airspeed limitations.

PREPARATORY INSTRUCTION

AIM

For the student to learn:

1. The relationship of rotor disc and fuselage attitudes to indicated airspeed.
2. The correct methods of selecting or changing engine power, e.g. manifold pressure and rotor r.p.m.
3. How to fly straight and level in balanced flight at selected airspeeds or power settings.

Review

1. Effective fault analysis always strives for maximum objectivity. You should never allow personal bias to affect the grading or analysis of any particular flight. Objectivity should be considered in both student personality and flying techniques. At times personality conflicts occur but as a professional instructor you will hold these to a minimum. In the area of flight technique, you may become dogmatic and accept only one way to accomplish a manoeuvre.

1. What is a trainer?
2. The Concise Oxford Dictionary definition of the word train is: "Bring to desired state or standard of efficiency by instruction and practice".
3. Flight instructors are trainers.

7. Listed below are seven learning factors. Read them carefully and determine whether they apply to you as you learn new skills and knowledge. If they apply to you, they will also apply to your students. Attempt to associate a single word that is used to represent the entire learning factor. These words will be used throughout the guide and in test questions on instructional technique.

Learning is made easier when the following factors are used:

GROUND SCHOOL POINTS

Ground effect

Translational lift

Dissymmetry of lift and flap back

Tail rotor drift

Vortex ring
