King Schools’ new Cleared for Instrument Instructing course and curriculum cumulatively add an Instrument Instruction (CFII) rating to a CFI’s Flight Instructor certificate. The courseware is the latest addition to King Schools’ Cessna Flight Training System (CFTS).
The program includes home study material plus flight school tracking of FAA Part 141 approvable syllabi for Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor, and now the Instrument Flight Instructor (CFII) rating. The complete set of courses allows a flight school to develop a professional pilot program by which candidates may proceed seamlessly from zero hours to airline hire.
King Schools has also debuted a new Flight Instructor Program by dint of which CFIs may track their students’ progress through any King Schools courses. The program provides flight instructors a dashboard by which they and their students are linked—after a fashion. Instructors may invite students to link up, or vice versa. In either case, CFIs gain access to such progress as their students may or may not be making as they proceed through their King Schools courses.
By virtue of the Flight Instructor program, CFIs may observe topics their students have covered and determine which, if any, occasioned difficulty. What’s more, CFIs can track students’ performance on the quizzes germane to particular King Schools modules. So enlightened, flight instructors may shape their own curricula to best meet their students’ individual needs.
In addition to determining student pilots’ strengths and weaknesses, King Schools’ Flight Instructor Program affords CFIs opportunity to assess those areas of their own teaching practices that are effective, and those requiring altered emphasis or altogether different approaches.
CFIs participating in the program receive a free suite of King Schools courses encompassing Private Pilot through Flight Instructor. These are the selfsame courses through which their students are working and can be used to review subjects, view videos, and address questions together. The suite includes the comprehensive KING Flashcard App, by which a student’s subject-matter knowledge can be quickly quizzed and assessed. What’s more, courses can be downloaded to an instructor’s iPad or iPhone and viewed—even when offline.
Flight Instructors may also avail themselves of a newly-created course dubbed Your First Flying Lesson—a recruitment inducement of sorts by which CFIs can foster the enthusiasm of individuals with nascent interests in learning to fly. The course is provided free of charge to flight training candidates and chronicles—from preflight inspection to landing and lunch at the destination airport—a Cessna 172 flight from San Diego to Catalina Island. Your First Flying Lesson is designed to help alleviate the anxieties shared by many prospective student pilots and accurately set newcomers’ expectations of training flights. The course emphasizes the fun and freedom of flying, and introduces neophyte aviators to basic aeronautical principles and the systems and characteristics of training aircraft the likes of Cessna’s venerable 172 Skyhawk. Stated concisely, King Schools’ Your First Flying Lesson course was created to promote awareness of the fact that piloting an aircraft,
while challenging, is eminently enjoyable and empowering.
