He or she will be prepared to provide instrument instruction in a helicopter.

Course Description
During the flight component of the course, the student will learn how to perform instrument procedures to a high level of skill while flying from the instructor’s seat.

During the ground component of the course, the student will review fundamentals of instruction including teaching methods, the principles of effective communication, methods of critique and evaluation, and how to plan instructional activity. He or she will develop instrument helicopter lesson plans to add to his or her instructor’s notebook.
