A rich and proven resource, Lesson Plans to Train Like You Fly is useful to both active CFIs and persons preparing for their CFI written and practical tests.

In addition to critical information previously published in Train Like You Fly: A Flight Instructor’s Guide to Scenario-Based Training, the newly-released fourth edition includes current best-practices, and tried-and-true advice germane to teaching both visual and instrument flight.

Intended to complement Part 61 and 141 syllabi and the FAA Practical Test Standards, Lesson Plans to Train Like You Fly conveys effective means by which to effectively brief and teach the skills and maneuvers intrinsic to the attainment of Private and Commercial Pilot certification and the instrument airplane rating.
