This handbook supersedes FAA-H-8083-9, Aviation Instructor's Handbook, dated 1999.

This handbook provides aviation instructors with up-to-date information on learning and teaching, and how to relate this information to the task of teaching aeronautical knowledge and skills to students. Experienced aviation instructors will also ?nd the updated information useful for improving their effectiveness in training activities. While this handbook primarily uses the traditional term "student" to denote someone who is seeking certi?cation in aviation, the accepted term in educational psychology is "learners."
