How does the PTS address the use of technology in flight instruction?

The Practical Test Standards (PTS) emphasize the integration of technology as a valuable tool for enhancing learning in flight instruction. This approach recognizes that technology can provide significant benefits, such as improved visualization, access to real-time information, and interactive learning experiences that can facilitate an understanding of complex concepts.

Instructors are encouraged to utilize various technological advancements—such as simulations, flight planning apps, and electronic flight bags—to enrich student engagement and reinforce their practical skills. This integration aligns with best practices in education, where leveraging modern tools can lead to better retention of knowledge and skills among students.

The emphasis on technology is not limited to any specific group of students nor mandates any singular software, making it a flexible and inclusive approach to modern flight training.
