All the PTS and such are on-line on the FAA site, in PDF
format.

|I agree with Jim about Bill Kershner's Flight Instructor
Manual. This is a
| book that you can get real world examples of how to teach
many primary and
| advanced lessons. It's one of my favorites and can be
used for years after

regurgitate their
| mantra, word for word. You MUST own, study, learn, and be
able to teach
| from the FAA books. Some FAA Inspectors and even some
DE's have been known
| to dismiss all information found in any other sources. So
start with the
| FAA info, then back it up with materials from some of the
industry's better
| authors.
|
| You'll need copies of all the PTS books, and I'd suggest
all the ASA Oral
| Prep books also.
|
| You should also start a 3-ring binder and download all the
FAA Advisory
| Circulars, I think Matthew Waugh's site has a list. He
also has a great
| list of CFI material, links, and books.

| Make sure you have the latest versions of any books that
you buy. Don't buy
| out of date material from amazon or ebay.
|
| A very real part of being a CFI (and one that the FAA
wants you to realize)
| is that you need to know where to find answers to students
questions. If
| the answer isn't in your head, it better be in a book that
you own and you
| should be able to show the student.
