This presentation reinforces the concept that flight instructors are really the "Gate Keepers" of general aviation safety. It is critical that all flight instructors inspire the pilots that they instruct to maintain high standards in their aeronautical knowledge and in their flying ability.
It is also critical that flight instructors set the example through their own professionalism. Many practical examples and recommendations will be provided.
