Scenario Based Training (SBT) has become an industry standard. Unlike maneuver based training where individual maneuvers are relatively isolated and learned virtually out of context, SBT is about the big picture and the integration of all the elements necessary for successful flight. By following structured scripts, SBT teaches students to consider all aspects of a flight--every flight--from beginning to end. Although SBT has been well received, unfortunately there aren’t many guidebooks for pilots and instructors in its usage and day-to-day application, until now.
ASA’s new Train Like You Fly by Arlynn McMahon explores scenario-based training extensively. In this book the author provides the key ingredients for making a good pilot and shares practical techniques to bring it all into the cockpit. It is packed with guidelines and tips that will help flight instructors reach well beyond the FAA Practical Test Standards to help students to train like they fly so they fly like they train. In addition, instructors will learn how to:
Create effective scenarios of their own
Teach systematic risk reduction, aeronautical decision making (ADM) and develop critical thinking skills in their students
Employ effective grading and evaluation using the latest FAA/Industry (FITS) practices
Help new CFIs gain from the most effective habits of experienced instructors
