If the basics of airmanship still apply in safely controlling an airplane—coordinated maneuvers, power-and-speed management, and situational awareness, for example—wouldn’t the methods to deliver those skills to new pilots remain anchored in fundamental truths as well?
Can Flight Instruction Get Any Better?
Key Takeaways:
- Redbird Flight Simulations' annual "Migration" conference aims to revolutionize flight training by promoting advanced simulation technology and challenging traditional, often inefficient, teaching methods.
- The conference addresses industry resistance to change, particularly instructors' bias towards airplane-only training and their varying effectiveness in delivering ground instruction.
- Migration serves as a unique forum for flight training professionals, including competitors, to collaborate on disruptive ideas and influence the future direction of training technology, regulation, and instructor development.
- Key discussions at the conference explore innovative concepts such as rethinking the value and pricing of flight vs. ground instruction and questioning the efficiency of traditional one-on-one ground lessons.
