did, what to work on for next time, exactly what
to study (with links to the material) before the
next lesson, and her or his progress on the way to
earning a pilot certificate. Just in case you have a
dentist appointment the next time your student is
scheduled to fly, their progress and performance
can be shared with another instructor so they can
keep the momentum going.

WORKLOAD. With a single click, AFTA creates
a lesson based on each student's progress and
skillset. Performance can be tracked and graded
in-cockpit so by the time you kiss the pavement
after landing, your student knows how she or he
As mentioned earlier, the AFTA syllabus is a
dynamic one-not the usual paper-based syllabus of
years gone by. If a student isn't quite up-to-speed on
power off stalls, the maneuver will be reviewed in
the next lesson. Similarly, instead of repeating skills
a student has already mastered-simply because
they're part of a particular lesson-the program puts
the focus on the skills the student still needs to hone
while continuing to review those already mastered
to maintain proficiency on the way to the checkride.
Everything is tracked online, so there's no
need to scribble notes on a notepad and hope
you remember them for the next lesson; it's all
updated real-time and accessible at the touch of
a button. AFTA simplifies student management
while giving each student a more consistent
training experience.
This is just the beginning of what AFTA can do
for you and your flight instructing experience.
AFTA launches on March 31. Click here to
