A practical test recommendation based on anything less risks the presentation of an applicant who may be unprepared for some part of the actual practical test. In such an event, the flight instructor is logically held accountable for a deficient instructional performance. This risk is especially great in signing recommendations for applicants who have not been trained by the instructor involved. For balloons, 14 CFR part 61 requires a minimum of two training flights of one hour each with an authorized instructor within 60 days preceding the date of the test for a private or commercial certificate. The instructor signing the endorsement is required to have conducted the training in the applicable areas of operation stated in the regulations and the PTS, and certifies that the person is prepared for the required practical test. In most cases, the conscientious instructor has little doubt concerning the applicant’s readiness for the practical test.
FAA inspectors and designated pilot examiners rely on flight instructor recommendations as evidence of qualification for certification, and proof that a review has been given of the subject areas found to be deficient on the appropriate knowledge test. Recommendations also provide assurance that the applicant has had a thorough briefing on the practical test standards and the associated knowledge areas, maneuvers, and procedures. If the flight instructor has trained and prepared the applicant competently, the applicant should have no problem passing the practical test.
The recommended format for log book endorsements may be found in the current version of AC 61-65; an extract of those relevant to balloon instruction may be found in Appendix E.Self-Improvement
Professional flight instructors must never become complacent or satisfied with their own qualifications and abilities. They should be constantly alert for ways to improve their qualifications, effectiveness, and the services they provide to students. Flight instructors are considered authorities on aeronautical matters and are the experts to whom many pilots refer questions concerning regulations, requirements, and new operating techniques.

Figure 10-3. The flight instructor should always present a professional appearance.Sincerity
The professional instructor should be straightforward and honest. Attempting to hide some inadequacy behind a smokescreen of unrelated instruction makes it impossible for the instructor to command the respect and full attention of a student. Teaching an aviation student is based upon acceptance of the instructor as a competent, qualified teacher and an expert pilot. Any facade of instructor pretentiousness, whether it is real or mistakenly assumed by the student, immediately causes the student to lose confidence in the instructor and learning is adversely affected.
Acceptance of the Student
With regard to students, the instructor must accept them as they are, including all their faults and problems. The student is a person who wants to learn, and the instructor is a person who is available to help in the learning process. Beginning with this understanding, the professional relationship of the instructor with the student should be based on a mutual acknowledgement that the student and the instructor are important to each other, and that both are working toward the same objective.Personal Appearance and Habits
Personal appearance has an important effect on the professional image of the instructor. Today’s aviation customers expect their instructors to be neat, clean, and appropriately dressed. Since the instructor is engaged in a learning situation, the attire worn should be appropriate to a professional status. [Figure 10-3]
Personal habits have a significant effect on the professional image. The exercise of common courtesy is perhaps the most important of these.
Demeanor
The attitude and behavior of the instructor can contribute much to a professional image. The professional image requires development of a calm, thoughtful, and disciplined, but not somber, demeanor.
The instructor should also present an attitude of enthusiasm, with respect to the training conducted, whether ground or flight. The enthusiasm expressed by the instructor is normally reflected in the student’s response to the training, and makes it a much more enjoyable experience for all parties concerned. Safety Practices and Accident Prevention
The safety practices emphasized by instructors have a long lasting effect on students. Generally, students consider their instructor to be a model of perfection whose habits they

attempt to imitate, whether consciously or unconsciously. The instructor’s advocacy and description of safety practices mean little to a student if the instructor does not demonstrate them consistently. For this reason, instructors must meticulously observe the safety practices being taught to students. A good example is the use of a checklist before takeoff. If a student pilot sees the flight instructor layout, inflate, and take off in a balloon without referring to a checklist, no amount of instruction in the use of a checklist convinces that student to faithfully use one when solo flight operations begin.
