What is the minimum a student will be tested on during their evaluation?

The minimum a student will be tested on during their evaluation includes all areas of operation, knowledge, and risk management. This comprehensive approach ensures that the assessment is thorough and reflects the necessary competencies for safe and effective flight instruction.

Evaluating all areas of operation means that the student must demonstrate proficiency in various flight maneuvers, emergency procedures, and adherence to standard operating practices. Knowledge encompasses understanding of aviation principles, regulations, and aircraft systems, which are crucial for making informed decisions in flight. Additionally, risk management is vital as it involves identifying and mitigating potential hazards, ensuring that the instructor candidates are equipped to teach their students about safety and risk assessment in aviation.

The importance of assessing all these aspects provides a holistic view of the student’s readiness to operate in the aviation environment, preparing them to not only fly but also to teach others effectively. This level of evaluation aligns with industry standards and best practices in pilot training and instruction.
