CFI'S POINT OF VIEW
Finding the way to have your student succeed is your path to avoiding
frustration. Furthermore, the teaching and communication skills you
develop as a CFI translate to other aspects of your professional and
personal career, outside as well as inside the cockpit.
BE A PROFESSIONAL
Professionals are focused on serving their clients and their community.
Being a professional educator, which is the responsibility of the CFI, is a
noble endeavor. Aviation provides vast opportunities to visit interesting
places and meet people with varied backgrounds. Travel by air is essential
to economic development and quality of life. Helping your students enter
the field of aviation introduces them to those rewarding experiences and
fulfilling opportunities. Focusing on the value students receive from good
instruction is an effective means for avoiding frustration and CFI burnout.
The true rewards of being a certificated flight instructor-rewards that
never become old-are helping others become safe, successful aviators.
Logging flight time is simply a side benefit.
John W. Olcott is an airline transport pilot, instrument instructor,
and remote pilot, as well as former president of the National Business
Aviation Association.
