YOU CAN FLY
AOPA FLIGHT TRAINING ADVANTAGE
IN FLIGHT AND ON THE GROUND
BY YCF AND ASI STAFF
WE HAVE PLENTY OF ACRONYMS IN AVIATION,
AND HERE'S A NEW ONE YOU'LL LIKE: AFTA. It
stands for AOPA Flight Training Advantage. The
program launched this spring on March 31, and
this first release focuses on private pilot training.
AFTA's web portal- and iPad-based training
application helps make the process of flight
training more effective for
CFIs, students, and flight
schools. How? Let's take
a look.
The AFTA app
automatically creates
lessons based on your
students' progression, yet
you keep the flexibility
to modify the lessons as
needed. The program
assigns students
homework to prepare for
the next lesson, which
includes access to the needed study materials.
At the same time your students know what to
expect and how to prepare before every flight.
You will save time and simplify record keeping
with the ability to quickly grade flight maneuvers
in flight, then have this information easily
available to share with your students during
the debrief. You also have the ability at a finger's
touch to see a list of all your students, their
records, and next lesson plans. CFIs tell us they
love the Activity Index, which includes ACS
standards, associated homework, teaching tips,
and common errors students may make. And,
for students, the portal is a great way to see their
milestones and progression as it allows them to
review their training history, grades received,
and pertinent notes from their instructors.
Another advantage? Let's say you won't be able
to fly with your students for a couple of weeks
but you don't want to delay their progress. No
problem, you can easily share students with other
instructors as their progress, lesson plans, etc.,
are made transparent across the platform. The
program also allows you to add a student with
existing training hours and dynamically create
the first lesson to pick up where they left off.
Lastly, flight school owners can get a quick
overview of key performance stats for students
and instructors. Not only that, the program
will help owners deliver an efficient and quality
training experience that will have students come
back for more.

highlights and get started.
