Abstract
Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) in general aviation are tasked with training student pilots the knowledge and skills related to piloting an aircraft. This requires CFIs to have indepth knowledge about common student errors including early indicators of non-optimal performance in flight, an understanding of probable root cause(s) of non-optimal performance, and instructional techniques to address root cause(s). There is an opportunity to improve CFIs’ awareness of common student errors that lead to accidents/incidents and training effectiveness by integrating low fidelity scenario-based training. Such scenarios provided using low cost simulation environments coupled with detailed performance measures outlined in the ADAPT framework can aid CFIs in understanding common errors so that effective recognition and appropriate training intervention is provided to student pilots with the goal of optimizing training while minimizing student accidents/incidents.
