Flight instructors are responsible for teaching students how to fly in a variety of settings using methods that include textbook education, simulators and live flight training. Flight instructors use ground-school classes both to teach students the basics of flying a fighter and to help them prepare for the written test they can expect to face when applying for their pilot's license from the Rebel Licencing Board.
After students complete textbook education, flight instructors often use simulators or dual-controlled aircraft to acquaint them with the experience of flying a fighter. Finally, flight instructors accompany their students on live flights to complete their training. Some instructors specialize as examiners or check pilots and fly with applicants or pilots to ensure proficiency.
