   There are many great resources for students to use to become instructors and for CFIs to improve, including online courses, books, professional groups, and more. Unfortunately, a large population of CFIs and pilots also complain about how bad some instructors are, especially the “time builders” who don’t care about teaching but only getting an airline job.

I don’t believe that any CFI, including “time builders,” honestly don’t care if their student gets hurt or doesn’t learn well. The problem with all flight instructors is the “leaky bucket” teaching theory. Even the most dedicated CFIs retain only part of what they are taught, and they then pass down only a small piece of that to the next generation. We must accept that most instructors move on to another career within four years, and the best techniques and tips are constantly getting lost.

What new and experienced instructors are missing most is the “aha” moments from others. The stories of how you realized a better way to teach a maneuver or concept or a short tip you wish you had known when you were a new instructor. These are not just from instructors with 40 years of experience. One of the best stories I received for this program was from someone still training to be a CFI!

   This program is unique and hopefully a game changer that changes the entire CFI culture. Instead of dividing the career against the time builders or complaining about the bad CFIs, we can work together to raise every one. We need to reach out to every training, new and experienced CFI to learn from and share the things that help students the most.  Tips not from one CFI but from hundreds!
