Although it is quite a challenge to teach a specific subject in a simple and pleasant way, it is possible thanks to lived experiences and acquired knowledge. Based on this same principle, we have accepted a challenge different from the rest, more complex but no less exciting: the challenge of ’teaching how to teach.”Flight Instructor is aimed at those pilots who wish to become aviation educators, aviation psychologists, aviation friends, among other titles, as a flight instructor usually fulfills all these roles in the cockpit. Teaching is an art that requires navigating through different stages of a student’s personality, as each person is different, and each of these different individuals requires a particular instructor with a specific personality capable of bringing out the student’s maximum potential.In this new edition, we will explore the basic theoretical concepts that a flight instructor must master. Concepts such as the teaching and learning process, the communication process, and the evaluation process. Teaching techniques adapted to different student personalities, basic concepts of body language, and more. ’Teaching how to teach’ is the premise of this manual. Understanding each stage of each process in depth and mastering their techniques will be the goal. 10
