Are you still training your students for the PTS? You’re behind the power curve. Jeff breaks down the new Flight Instructor ACS (FAA-S-ACS-25) with a focus on the technical Appendices that most instructors ignore.

In this episode: Appendix 1: How the DPE samples Knowledge and Risk elements. Appendix 2: The new reality of "Safety of Flight" and Vmc demos. Appendix 3: Handling inop equipment and EFB failures on checkride day. Pro Tip: Why you need the ACS Companion Guide (FAA-G-ACS-2) on your iPad.
