Hi Bill,

I used Russell Holtz's books with my club instructors when I was starting out. The chapters are well structured and the quizzes at the end help drive discussion as well as provide sense of mastery of the material. For the flying part, the checklists of skills is helpful to show the student how they are progressing, is a good post lesson day review and guide to what to work on for the next lesson, and if your club has multiple instructors is a good way for instructors to know where the student is before starting the training day. I found them to be valuable references during and after training.

Condor can also be an effective presentation tool!

Thank you for taking the time and initiative to become an instructor and help grow our ranks!

J.D.
