UND Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) New Hire Training Practice Test

FOI's teaching sequence starts with a clear learning objective, so the student knows exactly what successful performance looks like. Then the instructor provides a precise demonstration of the skill, showing the correct steps, timing, and expected results. Next, the student practices the skill themselves, consolidating the correct technique while the instructor observes and notes any errors. Finally, the results are evaluated and feedback is given, confirming mastery or guiding improvements. This order—goal, model, practice, feedback—ensures understanding is tied directly to performance and that errors are addressed promptly. Practicing before a clear objective or without a timely demonstration and feedback tends to reinforce incorrect habits and leaves gaps in understanding.
