I went with the Pilot-centric approach and threw up a picture of the overhead panel and highlighted each system on different slides and walked through the systems as a pilot would see it. It kept the class engaged, and Schumacher ate it up. To the point he pulled me aside when he saw me at the airport and told me how much he enjoyed it, but apologized because he had to give me a lower grade due to my partner (who had the history portion) stinking it up. FWIW
haha Yep Schumacher's still teaching it. That's what I was planning to do. The last few groups were unbelievably boring. The group today spent almost their entire presentation talking about the different "laws" on the A320 such as normal, alternate, etc. Even Pete was nodding off! So anything to make it interesting I'll use.
