LEARNING TO FLY IS AN ADVENTURE. IT'S A
journey with spectacular vistas, demanding
challenges, and great opportunities
for self-expression and fulfillment. Flying
is fun. Flying is useful. Flying adds a new
dimension to life for those who seek to
master the technology.
But it also exposes the unprepared or
poorly prepared to significant risk. For the
student pilot, the venture begins. For the
certificated aviator, the venture is ongoing.
How can the student make the most
of his or her primary training, thus laying
the foundation for a safe and rewarding
aviation experience?
START WITH A GOOD TEACHER
Studies have shown that what a student
learns first often creates a strong, almost
unshakable impression. What the student
learns first is most easily remembered. What
is learned first is most likely to be recalled
during emergencies or times of stress.
Experts in learning theory call the importance
of learning a procedure or technique
correctly the first time the law of primacy.
Regarding flying, the beginning student's
memory of how to fly a maneuver

or plan a flight is analogous to a pristine
field that has not been disturbed by any
structures or obstacles. Before beginning
lessons, student pilots have no
pre-established ideas about proper flying
procedures. They lack the vocabulary of
flight-stalls mean engine stoppage to
non-aviators, for example, and automobiles
are not controlled in the same way
airplanes are controlled. Think of the flight
instructor laying down on the student's
pristine, uncluttered memory a road-a
road of knowledge, so to speak-leading to
the correct way to fly the task.
If the initial teaching is incorrect or
lacks relevance-the road is constructed
incorrectly-the CFI must correct the
situation by removing the initial road and
replacing it with a new path to achieve the
objective of the task to be learned. While
a new road may be properly implemented
on the second try, the scars of the original
road to knowledge remain. The pristine
mind, just like the pristine field, retains
the remnants of the removed road, thereby
cluttering the student's learning process.
The message is clear-the CFI must
teach the task right, from the start. An
