3. The instructor's ability and patience to impart his knowledge to the student.
4. The ability of the instructor to inspire a student to want to fly in the proper manner. 
5. The ability of the instructor to inspire and obtain the full confidence of his students.
6. The ability of the instructor to thoroughly sell the student on the fact that good instruction is not only necessary but highly desirable.
7. The use of the best methods of flying instruction so that the maximum instruction can be imparted and absorbed in a given period.
8. A proper sequence of instruction of so that one maneuver will lead naturally to the next.
9. A close and careful analysis of the student's reactions.
10. The maintenance by the instructor of high standards in flying technique for himself and the insistence on high standards in his students.

In analyzing a student, the instructor must search for hidden inhibitions, fears, and misapprehensions and seek to eliminate them. He must devise processes and exercises that may be adaptable to the particular student. Instruction cannot be wholly standardized as to time required or actual methods. Only the curriculum, certain rules, the details of maneuvers, and certain proven exercises can be definitely laid down.

The duties of a flying instructor are such that he must not only possess a high degree of theoretical knowledge but he must also be able to give a flawless practical demonstration of that knowledge. He must not only have perfected his own flying technique, but also must know the whys and wherefores of it. This requires qualities of analysis and synthesis; that is, the ability to divide the whole of any action or maneuver into parts, explain their individual causes and effects and then accurately and clearly show how they fit into the whole, with their relative importance as well as position.

The instructor should have a type of personality which makes its presence felt, but not in an offensive way. He must inspire confidence and respect. He must know when to praise and when to censure. He must be quick to sense undesirable mental and physical reactions on the part of the student.

He must be able to adjust his personality to that of each individual student, and develop that of the student, strengthening its weaknesses, and still exercise tact and manifest understanding.

Above all the instructor must be able to impart his knowledge to others.

There is no question that experience in instructing is of immense value to the instructor and that he will develop as much or even more than the student. He will not only improve his own flying, but will obtain a keen insight into human nature and behaviorism. Instructing has been a sobering effect on the conscientious instructor. It compels introspective thinking, develops patience, tact, understanding, and the ability to determine character. It gives a keen insight into the future consequences of present actions and realities.

The interest and enthusiasm of the student help keep the interest of the instructor at its peak. An instructor to do his best must not
