CFI TIPS
As a leader, show that you can have fun while working hard. Nobody wants a
leader who would rather be somewhere else. If you are clearly enjoying your
experience as a flight instructor, don't you think that joy will be contagious
among your students? How you deal with difficult situations will also be an
important lesson to your students about perseverance.
Leaders hold themselves and others accountable but also care about their
teams. There's no weakness in being kind and understanding. If your
student is struggling, try to find out why. Life happens and most clients are
scheduling flight lessons among their other obligations, such as work and
family commitments. So, while they need to be held accountable to their
commitment and lessons, be flexible and understanding when plans need to
change occasionally.
Overall, as CFIs and leaders, let's model the behavior we want to see in
our clients. And, let's celebrate the victories alongside those clients who
are working so hard. Whether nailing a landing, learning how to interpret
weather reports, or passing a checkride-take pride in your students'
accomplishments. After all, you led them there.
Kathleen Vasconcelos is an instrument-rated flight instructor, and a
commercial pilot with multiengine and instrument ratings. She lives in
New Hampshire.
LEADERS HOLD THEMSELVES AND OTHERS
ACCOUNTABLE BUT ALSO CARE ABOUT THEIR
TEAMS. THERE'S NO WEAKNESS IN BEING KIND
AND UNDERSTANDING. IF YOUR STUDENT IS
STRUGGLING, TRY TO FIND OUT WHY.
