DENVER, COLORADO, January 1st, 2017 — FlightCog (Formerly known as Divergent Aerospace) is introducing The Kneeboard Reference Guide. A new product that was developed to enhance learning and to fill a very important need. We created something that could be used in the cockpit to help your student visualize flight training maneuvers before execution.
INNOVATIVE LEARNING
At FlightCog™ we’re always finding ways to innovate. Our mission is to develop products that make aviation education easier for initial flight instructor certification, and for already certificated flight instructors. About a year back, we came up with an idea to create an abbreviated outline (lesson plan) which could be used to teach students maneuvers.The guide can also be used as a supplemental teaching aid for the instructor. The Kneeboard Reference Guide was expressly developed as a simple training aid to be used while inside the aircraft.
THE KNEEBOARD REFERENCE GUIDE
The Kneeboard Reference Guide by FlightCog™ was developed to fill a very important need. We wanted to create something that could be used to teach a new instructor in training. This product can and should also be used to help a newly certificated flight instructor who is teaching students for the very first time. Imagine having a simplified version of a maneuver lesson plan developed in kneeboard format which could be used for quick reference while teaching. Your job as a CFI has now suddenly become much easier.
The Kneeboard Teaching Guide is essentially an abbreviated lesson plan (in outline format) developed to enable a flight instructor to teach with the product in the cockpit. This product can even be handed to the student prior to each maneuver, thereby ensuring that the student is familiar with each maneuver and understands the purpose, prior to being taught and/or executing said maneuver.
The Kneeboard Reference Guide will enhance learning by showing the student each maneuver, in plain English. Each lesson will include a photo of the maneuver being executed (bird’s eye view) the purpose of said maneuver, a description of the maneuver, instructions on how to execute the maneuver, and the FAA tolerances. The Kneeboard Reference Guide will remove the ambiguity from learning a new maneuver. There will be no more question marks. Presenting a lesson to your student from the Kneeboard Reference Guide prior to teaching the new maneuver, and prior to the execution of said maneuver, will ultimately enforce a positive transfer of learning, and will surely set your student up to be successful.
