Synopsis - High Effect Training Project
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has lent support
to a Research Project to develop Guidelines for
"High Effect" flight training. Guidelines
are published on this website - so as to be downloadable at no cost.
They apply to flight instructors - and current or intending trainees.
Reference materials that constitute
the "Guidelines" are on this website.
Please note that they are in
early draft state, and continuously being updated.
(Making the main ideas available
seems more important than presentation.)

Trainee
Pilots
For the student pilot, the focus is on preparation
(including self-awareness – am I suited to this?) and
reasonable expectations of a proper and effective training regime.
Practical assistance is given in your choice of a school to train
with, at: Selecting
the Flight School
Instructors
While the High Effect Guidelines
focus on training design and delivery - and objective measurement
of outcomes, they are meant for flight instructors. An instructor,
to be capable of using the Guidelines
to full effect, will need training. A High
Effect Certificate will be awarded upon
graduation from the course.
The Instructor training course
(to qualify one to use the Guidelines in formal instruction) is
in development.
If you wish to see the prototype
syllabus (it's evolving, too) please email me.
Instructor
Training
A single flight school will assume responsibility for developing
the Guidelines from the materials on this website.
The Lead School will also deliver instructor training
courses, to qualify to operate HE
Guidelines.
The Instructor training course
will be developed in conjunction with a school.
Background
CASA has accepted the argument that more potent flight instruction
will graduate pilots with stronger overall competencies - and hence
improved safety attributes.
For more on those arguments, see: IPT
Essentials
Sources
There is little publicly accessible evidence of innovation
in flight training. HE methods are thus based on
original sources - Thorndike, especially - and
ways and means for energising the heritage
concepts and theorems to transform them for greater potency and
effect in delivery. (It's a catalytic effect.)
Overall
Objective
Reference materials on this website will serve as the basis
for instructor competency augmentation. The Lead School
will train its own and other Schools' instructors in High
Effect methods. Arrangements will be invoked for quality
assurance.
