Abstract

The research focused on the ways in which flight schools can provide a specialized training format that satisfies goals for both professional and recreational pilots. These are unique ways in which, flight schools can achieve flight instruction for students by providing a strong training format that meets the individuals needs. Offering practical and theoretical skills to the students, and ensuring professional instructors. Also the use of modern facilities and equipment for teaching students; with a strong emphasis for FAA standards during all phases of instruction. These are some ideas flight schools should adopt in order to meet needs and demands of their students.

Introduction
The purpose of the research was to find how flight schools provide unique flight training solutions to meet needs of their students. The research identifies principles that flight schools practice as a school that takes a pilot from never having piloted an aircraft to, “helping them know when to use their landing lights, transponder, and trim tabs.” (Above View FBO [AV], 2008)
Learning to fly is one of the dreams of many people; and there are many reasons to learn to fly and most local flight schools can facilitate student’s needs on just about any schedule and desired rating or certification. (G&B Aircraft Management [G&B], 2008) Some may want to learn to fly for recreational purposes while others may learn to fly for a career. Whether as a career, or for recreational purposes in flight operations is one of the more unique areas of flight training in aviation.
Students at flight schools can be trained to become commercial pilots or recreational pilots. For the commercial pilot the world of aviation is very much exciting, dynamic and can be very demanding. In order for one to become a professional aviator whom the world can rely and depend on in the future, one

    As a ramp operations trainer for Airline Services, it is my responsibility to write, learn and run a number of different training courses, from aircraft door opening and closing training, to large vehicle slow speed manoeuvring training. All the training courses that we offer have to follow the same criteria: risk assessments need to be given out before hand and signed by the trainee, any learning difficulties or injuries need to be identified before the training session has taken place, a demonstration is given by the training instructor when conducting a specific task, either a quiz/practical demonstration or both are given to the trainee to assess learning ability and a detailed course report is written by the trainer which is sent to the trainee’s manager. When the trainee is deemed fully competent, sign off forms are completed by the trainer and trainee and are placed on the company database. It is important that we include these parameters as a minimum in our training sessions as they allow us to differentiate between ability levels beforehand, so that we can cater for different learning needs. Additional support can also be given to the trainee after the course if needed in order to promote a higher level of competency when passing the course. In this essay, I plan to give more examples of the teaching methods I use in practice and look to elaborate further on my understanding of inclusive learning in my sector.…

    The Golden Age Of Flying

    • 1541 Words
    • 7 Pages

    It is easy for a modern day flyer to look back at photos of people flying in the 50’s and 60’s and to wish that flying were the same today. Unlike pictures of people flying today, which illustrate casually dressed, grumpy passengers, packed into a stark-white cabin, pictures from 60 years ago illustrate formally dressed, smiling passengers, eating steak and lobster off of fine china. The presumably superior flying experience throughout the 50’s and 60’s is commonly referred to as the “Golden Age of Flying.” The reality though is that flying during the golden age wasn’t as “golden” as pictures portray it, and therefore, contrary to popular belief, flying today is actually better than it used to be.…
