This FOI Scenario-Based Training Guide is tailored for future flight instructors who strive to teach with real-world relevance.

Each section includes FAA-accurate scenarios, questions, and answers designed to help CFI applicants think like instructors — not just pass a test.  
 
This FOI Scenario-Based Training Guide integrates material from the FAA-H-8083-9B Aviation Instructor’s Handbook (2025) and the Flight Instructor (Airplane) ACS (FAA-S-ACS-25, 2023).

Each section includes realistic, examiner-style scenarios, questions, and FAA-consistent answers to help instructor candidates think, teach, and evaluate at the professional level expected by the FAA.
 
These scenarios are designed to be combined with FOI PowerPoint presentations and in-class discussions, providing real-world examples of how each FOI principle applies in both flight and ground instruction.

Students are encouraged to present or teach selected scenarios as part of their instructor development process.
