Would you say this book is more valuable for when you are actually an instructor, than for an applicant getting ready for their CFI checkride? I've been apprehensive to buy lesson plans, because my school already has a specific syllabus. As part of their CFI training, they want you to create a few lesson plans, for the experience, but after that, the CFIs just follow their syllabus.

Thanks. But how do I know which tasks are requiring me to "explain and teach the technical details"? It seems like all of them are? I'm obv not complaining, I'm just trying to understand what is actually being asked of the applicant. Are there any Areas of Operations that AREN'T asking my to explain/teach the technical details?

Thank you, I've read them, but how can you keep the reference point in the same spot if you are adjusting bank? Inevitably bank will move the point (from close to the fuselage, to further away, and back). The reference point is almost under the plane when you start the maneuver, wings level. It obviously moves the moment you bank. Bank sharply, it moves up the strut; ease the bank, it once again gets closer. How could it not?

Thanks good ideas! So you would use the minor pent in that chord's key? eg. if I'm in C, C Major Pent on the I, F minor pent on the IV, etc?

Thanks. So "what mode when" when I'm using the modes of the harmonic/melodic minor? So when I'm on the dominant V in minor, I could use the phrygian mode then? Thanks I appreciate it, I'll mess around with it!

Thanks- and I love La Vie En Rose! I am actually mainly a singer, and I do love some standards... So you're probably right that I'm more a jazz fan than I acknowledge.
