Block 3 Flashcards
What is the difference between a critique and an evaluation?
- Evaluation is teacher oriented and usually comes first, followed by critique that is more student oriented
What is an Evaluation? What are the the different methods? (3 main)
- The assessment of student skills and knowledge against the lesson objectives
1. Oral
2. Written
3. Performance
What are the different methods of Critique? (3 main)
- Instructor
- Written
- Self-Critique
Identify and explain the characteristics of an Effective Critique (4)
- Considers good and bad performance
- Looks at individual parts and how they relate relate
- Looks at overall performance
- As varied in content as the performance being evaluated
Describe how the Instructor method of CRITIQUE is conducted. It should be:
- Instructor leads a group discussion in an instructor/student critique in which members of the class are invited to offer criticism of a performance (AIH 5-10)
- Should be:
1. Controlled
2. Organized
3. Directed with a clear purpose
Describe the Written method of CRITIQUE (its 3 advantages, 1 disadvantage)
- Instructor can devote more time and thought to it (vs an oral assessment)
- Students can keep written assessments are refer back to them
- Permanent record of suggestions, recommendations and opinions from others
(only disadvantage of written is that other members of the class do no benefit)
Describe the Self-Critique method of CRITIQUE
- If the student can effectively critique themselves, then it shows they know what they’re supposed to do
What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Oral method of EVALUATION
Advantages: - You can rephrase questions - Gives immediate feedback - Limited guessing Disadvantages: - Every student will answer differently - Inefficient/time consuming - No written record
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the Written method of EVALUATION
*Exact reverse of ORAL evaluation* Disadvantages: - Can't rephrase questions - No immediate feedback - Promotes guessing Advantages: - Already provided answers - Efficient/timely - Written record
Describe the Performance method of EVALUATION.
Establishing hard standards, and observing student performance to that standard.
When should you use the Oral method of EVALUATION?
When you want immediate feedback on student KNOWLEDGE, and a tailored evaluation.
When should you use the Written method of EVALUATION?
When you want a written record, and a standardized group evaluation of student(s) KNOWLEDGE.
When should you use the Performance method of EVALUATION?
When you want to evaluate SKILL
Explain the 5 Characteristics in the development of a good WRITTEN TEST?
VCURD
- Valid - measures what it is supposed to
- Comprehensive - measures all areas
- Usable - easy to give/take
- Reliable - yields consistent results
- Discriminates - detects small differences
What are the 8 Characteristics of a good CRITIQUE?
FOC COATS
- Flexible (delivery method)
- Objective (unbiased)
- Constructive (how to maintain the good and fix the bad)
- Comprehensive (covers all good/bad)
- Organized (ex. chronologically)
- Acceptable (fair and certain)
- Thoughtful
- Specific (detailed)
Why do we teach slow flight to new students? (4)
- Applies to other phases of flight
- Division of attention
- Coordination (looking outside)
- FARs requires it
In regards to Stalls, what do we teach? Why? (2)
- We teach stall RECOGNITION and RECOVERY
1. Safety
2. Required by FARs
In regards to Spins, what do we teach? (4)
- We teach spin AWARENESS
1. Aerodynamics of the 4 phases
2. Flight situations where spins could occur
3. Orientation in space
4. Anxiety
Why do we teach students about Airports and Airspace? (3)
- So they can function properly in the environment
- Provides safety rules (wx mins)
- Required to teach before solo (61.87)
What Airports and Airspace should be taught to a student pre-solo?
The immediate airports and airspace they will be flying in
What Airports and Airspace should be taught to a student pre-CERTIFICATION?
All aspects of airports and airspace that they can operate on/in with a PPL
Describe a Forward-Slip. When would you use it?
- The a/c’s longitudinal axis is NOT aligned with the runway
(applying full opposite rudder, hold aileron deflection to maintain flight path) - Increases the rate of descent without increasing airspeed
- Use when you are high on approach
Describe a Side-Slip. When would you use it?
- The a/c’s longitudinal axis IS aligned with the runway
(applying just enough rudder to keep the nose straight and a/c’s longitudinal axis aligned with runway, and a/c is banked) - Use for crosswind landings
During a Soft-Field takeoff, the goal of holding significant back pressure is:
To transfer the weight of the a/c off the wheels an to the wings as soon as possible
What is the PURPOSE of a lesson plan? (4)
- Assure student gets best instruction possible
- Help instructor keep track of activity
- Help with material selection
- Promote uniformity of instruction
What are the 7 CHARACTERISTICS of a good Lesson Plan?
FU CRIPS
- Flexibility
- Unity
- Content
- Relationship (to course of training)
- Instructional Steps
- Practicality
- Scope
What are the 7 main items/sections of a Lesson Plan? What should be listed in each?
- Lesson Objectives - what student will learn
- Completion Standards - how to measurably achieve objectives
- Content - contains the next 4
- Preflight - goes over first 2, wx
- Review - related topics from previously learned topics
- Introduction - what you will be doing today
7 Postflight - critique performance, preview next lesson, give assignment
Explain the development/content of a flight Training Syllabus. (4)
ABCD
- Abstract of the course of training
- BLOCKS of learning
- Comprehensive (cover essential info)
- Defined objectives and standards
What is the primary USE of a Training Syllabus?
- Used primarily as a guide
- Flexible for adapting to wx and student progress
When should you start transmitting on CTAF when inbound to an uncontrolled airport?
10 miles out
Explain the common errors involved in learning airspace, airports and communications?
Students are unable to APPLY what they have learned because no one has asked them to.
What are the differences between controlled airspace and uncontrolled airspace?
- Controlled: where you CAN talk to ATC if you want and get services
- Uncontrolled: where ATC has no authority or responsibility to control traffic
Why does the minimum visibility and cloud separations rule increase above 10,000?
Because the speed of aircraft flying above 10,000 is much faster
What are the differences between Class B, Class C and TRSA operations?
B - everyone is sepearated
C - IFR and VFR traffic sequencing/separation to airports
What are the Terminal Radar Service Programs for VFR Pilots? (4)
- Class B - everyone is separated
- Class C - provides IFR and VFR sequencing to airports
- Basic - what KGFK has, ATC provides safety alerts but not separation (still must see and avoid)
- TRSA
What happens when Class D airspace extends into overlying Class B airspace?
idk
What happens when Class D airspace is not continuous?
idk
Explain pattern entry procedures for both controlled and uncontrolled airports.
- For uncontrolled enter 45 on the downwind and announce you location on CTAF
- For controlled you will follow instructions the tower gives you
Explain pattern departure procedures for both controlled and uncontrolled airports.
- Uncontrolled: Continue straight out (rwy heading) up to TPA, and leave on a 45 of the upwind once beyond the departure end of the rwy
Describe Special VFR
- Need 1 sm and remain Clear of Clouds
- Clearance allowing VFR a/c to enter or depart controlled airspace with less than VFR wx minimums (w/o IFR clearance)
When should you begin monitoring/transmitting on tower frequency when inbound to a controlled airport?
15 miles out
What are the VFR wx mins of all CONTROLLED airspace?
A - IFR B - 3sm/COC C - 3sm/500 b, 1000 a, 2000 h D - 3sm/500 b, 1000 a, 2000 h E < 10,000 - 3sm/500 b, 1000 a, 2000 h E > 10,000 - 5sm/1000 b, 1000 a, 1sm h
What are the VFR wx mins for class G airspace?
Draw your chart
What are the communication and a/c equipment requirements for all airspace?
A - ATC Clearance/IFR
B - ATC Clearance/2 way radio, transponder
C - Prior 2 way comm./2 way radio, transponder
D - Prior 2 way comm./2 way radio
E - None for VFR/None
G - None/None
