General Aviation Training Materials

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: With this notice, the FAA’s 

General Aviation and Commercial 

Division (AFS–800) announces the 

availability of three new educational 

resources for pilots and flight 

instructors. These are the first in a series 

of new web-based training materials 

tailored to the operational needs of the 

general aviation (GA) community.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mike Brown, Certification and Flight 

Training Branch, AFS–840, FAA, 800 

Independence Ave., SW., Washington, 

DC 20591; telephone (202) 267–7653; 

fax (202) 267–5094; or e-mail 

michael.w.brown@faa.gov.

Background: In an effort to improve 

general aviation safety, the FAA 

continues to focus its attention on the 

flight training community. Specifically, 

AFS–800 has been tasked via the 

Administrator’s Flight Plan 2004–2008

with improving flight training while 

maintaining or lowering costs. To that 

end, the FAA is moving forward by 

developing educational and flight 

training materials to help improve the 

quality of flight instruction. 

The first resource, titled Flight 

Instructor Training Module Volume 1: 

FAA/Industry Training Standards

(FITS), is designed to achieve two 

objectives. First, it will familiarize flight 

instructors with the FITS program, 

including its history, objectives, 

methods, and future goals. Second and 

perhaps most important, this training 

module will provide instructors with 

the guidance needed to develop their 

own FITS-based training curricula. 

The second and third resources, titled 

System Safety Course Developers’ Guide

(parts 1 and 2), will familiarize flight 

instructors with the concepts, 

principles, and techniques central to 

system safety. In addition, these 

modules will provide instructors with 

the tools necessary to integrate system 

safety concepts into their current 

instructional programs. 

While the FAA created these 

resources for the flight instructor 

community, all pilots are encouraged to 

review these materials as part of their 

initial or recurrent training efforts. Both 

documents, along with other flight 

training resources, may be downloaded 

at http://www.faa.gov/avr/afs/FITS/
