CFII Lesson Plans and SBT
I'm currently building CFII lesson plans after taking a few years off, and I notice that there are new Special Emphasis Areas in the PTS, as well as the new scenario-based learning concept. From the PTS:
"The flight instructor applicant should develop
and use scenario based teaching methods particularly on special
emphasis areas. These areas are covered in AC 90-48, Pilot’s Role in
Collision Avoidance; FAA-H-8083-3, Airplane Flying Handbook;
FAA-H-8083-25, Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge; and the current Aeronautical Information Manual."
I've studied the concepts and it doesn't seem too difficult to incorporate these in real life, but my question is how much of this should I be adding to the actual written lesson plans for the purpose of the check ride? Do your current lesson plans look like they did 5 years ago or do they incorporate more of the modern concepts (CRM, SRM, risk management, scenarios, learner-centered grading, etc.)?
I did my initial CFI years ago and am not sure how much I need to change my ancient lesson plans to fit today's examiner's expectations.
