CFI- Ideas for Instructional Aids
I’ll be going for the CFI practical test in about a month. During preparation, one of my instructor’s recurring criticisms has been the lack of spice in my lectures. Specifically, I need some interesting/entertaining ways to teach basic principles. For example, the blowing of air over the top of a piece of paper to demonstrate Bernoulli’s principle.
Also if you can remember any part of your training that left a particular impression I would be all ears. I’m specifically looking for anecdotes or anything that helped achieve a jump in learning or understand a difficult concept.
Lastly, I have a few die-cast model planes that I use for teaching. But what I really need is a sturdy model airplane with moveable control surfaces. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks everyone.
