FUNDAMENTALS OF INSTRUCTING
Knowledge of the fundamentals of instructing is a common requirement
for all flight instructors. The FAA has produced FAA-H-8083-9,
"Aviation Instructor's Handbook" to provide information about this
subject. No one should attempt to take the Fundamentals of Instructing
(FOI) test without having studied this publication. Flight instructor
candidates will find the handbook a valuable source of information
to aid them in developing their skills at instructing as well as in
passing the test. Those who wrote the FOI test followed the advice
given in FAA-H-8083-9, "When items are to measure achievement at a
higher level of learning, some or all of the alternatives should be
acceptable responses - but one should be clearly better than the
others". The result is that the correct answer to many of the test
questions requires the applicant to know exactly what the book
says about the subject.
The questions and alternative answers used in this study guide are
taken from the airman knowledge question banks available from the
AFS-630 web site. The FAA does not provide information about the
correct answers, so a quotation from FAA-H-8083-9 accompanies the
author's choice for each correct answer.
After reading FAA-H-8083-9,
select "Questions"
to test your knowledge of the material covered by
FAA-H-8083-9.

If you
find questions on the FOI test that were not covered here, please
provide as much information as possible about them so they can be
included in future versions.
