This category provides training techniques and scenarios to improve flight training and thereby achieve the AFTW’s goal of reducing accidents, incidents, and pilot deviations. The FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS) philosophy incorporates the concept of teaching and evaluating with scenarios. Since every pilot is different, the flight instructor must create an individualized scenario that “fits” the student’s needs. This is what FITS is all about. Here we provide example scenarios that can effectively be used in flight training.
We have organized this section into four categories: Teaching Tips, Ground Scenarios, Flight Scenarios, and Selected NTSB Reports.
We ask that you help improve this resource by submitting your own training tips and scenarios so that others can benefit from your experience.
