Full Definition

The recommended approach for applying a training syllabus during flight or ground instruction, in which the instructor follows the syllabus as the structured framework for each lesson while retaining the flexibility to adapt the order, pace, or emphasis of training events to suit the individual student, weather, aircraft availability, and learning progress.
