Professional Development
Aviation is changing rapidly, and aviation instructors must
continue to develop their knowledge and skills in order
to teach successfully in this environment. The aviation
instructor is well respected by other technicians and
pilots because instructors must meet additional training
requirements in order to be certificated. Flight instructors
undergo comprehensive evaluations and a practical test to
obtain a flight instructor certificate. 14 CFR part 147 requires
all instructors teaching maintenance subjects to hold an FAA
certificate as an aircraft maintenance technician.
Successful, professional aviation instructors do not become
complacent or satisfied with their own qualifications and
abilities, and are constantly alert for ways to improve their
qualifications, effectiveness, and the services they provide
to students. Considered by their students to be a source of
up-to-date information, instructors have the opportunity and
responsibility of introducing new procedures and techniques
both to their students and to other aviation professionals with
whom they come in contact.
Continuing Education
A professional aviation instructor continually updates his or
her knowledge and skills. This goal is attained in a variety of
ways, such as reading an article in a technical publication or
taking a course at a technical school. There are many different
sources of information the aviation instructor can use in order
to remain current in aviation knowledge and teaching.
Government
One of the first educational sources for the instructor is
the FAA and other governmental agencies. The FAA either
sponsors or collaborates in sponsoring aviation programs,
seminars, and workshops for the public. For example, the FAA
conducts safety seminars around the country in conjunction
with the aviation industry. These seminars, although directed
at pilots, can be a useful source of knowledge for aviation
instructors.
The FAA is a rich source of information that can be used to
enhance an instructor’s knowledge. Regulations, advisory
circulars, airworthiness directives, orders, and notices are
some of the documents that can be downloaded from the
FAA website at www.faa.gov.

As mentioned earlier in the chapter, participation in the
Pilot Proficiency Awards Program is a good way for a flight
instructor to improve proficiency and to serve as an example
to students. Another way is to work toward the Gold Seal
Flight Instructor Certificate. Accomplishing the requirements
of the certificate is evidence the instructor has performed
at a very high level as a flight instructor. See AC 61-65,
Certification: Pilots and Flight and Ground Instructors, for
a list of requirements for earning this certificate.
Similarly, the Aviation Maintenance Awards Program affords
the aviation maintenance instructor the opportunity for
increased education through attendance at FAA or industry
maintenance training seminars. Details for the awarding of
bronze through diamond pins can be found in AC 65-25,
Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards Program.
The FAA approves the sponsors who conduct Flight Instructor
Refresher Clinics (FIRCs) in accordance with AC 61-83.
Nationally scheduled FAA-approved industry-conducted
Flight Instructor Refresher Clinics (FIRC). These courses
are available for flight instructors to complete the training
requirements for renewal of flight instructor certificates.
The FAA cosponsors Inspection Authorization (IA) seminars.
These seminars are open to all maintenance technicians, and
are a good source of additional training and education for
maintenance instructors.
Educational/Training Institutions
Professional aviation instructors can further increase their
knowledge and skill in aviation specialties by attending
classes at local community colleges, technical schools,
or universities. These schools may offer complete degree
programs in aviation subjects as well as single-subject
courses of benefit to instructors.
Commercial Organizations
Commercial organizations are another important source of
education/training for the aviation instructor. Some may be
publishers of training materials while others may provide
complete ground and flight training programs for professional
pilots and instructors. These companies often provide a wide
variety of study programs including videos, computer-based
training, and printed publications. Many offer training that
