Default FOI Written

Am I ever going to use the Fundamentals of Instruction "info" again?? So much of it seemed just plain common sense.

Did you read "The Aviation Instructor's Handbook," or just prepare via testprep software? A lot of the FOI material will be covered immediately on the initial oral. Be prepared to spew it out, and correlate it to teaching student pilots. As a CFI, you will quickly realize how important primacy and intensity are...

I think that it is common sense for a lot of people. However, there are some people that just are not cut out for teaching. I think that is where forcing the FOI stuff may help out some. Unfortunately those bad instructors are the ones forgetting the most about the FOI.

In fact, I would say that even though I couldn't recite the FOI anymore, I am always using the techniques provided. It gives a crash course in teaching to pilots. One thing that helped me was that I taught high school marching band for six seasons before getting my CFI, and I already had made a solid foundation of the way that I teach based on my experiences of what worked and what didn't.

That being said, the way to pass the written and practical is by use of pure rote memory.
