Train/Qualify Instructor Level 2 Skills

Overview

A Trainer that is rated to "Train Instructors to Teach T2 Checkboxes" can sign off any Level II Instructor skill on the chart once that Instructor has demonstrated the ability to perform the skills. 

You will need to be a complete Trainer Level II prior to be able to "shadow" a Level I Instructor Course for the purposes of using it as a documented course toward your FITP lead preparation.

Pre-requisites

Prior to being trained and signed of to train the T2 check boxes you must first be a complete Level 4 Instructor and also a Trainer Level 1. You must also have received the appropriate briefings and demonstrated that you understand all of the information that instructors need in order to perform their skills within the Level 2 system correctly and safely. You will need to demonstrate that you can physically fly each of the scenarios that are important for the instructor to see and spot throughout the training and also be able to highlight areas within the training that the instructor is deficient on.

Objectives

The primary objective is for you to be able to teach an instructor all of the skills required for them to be a fully quaified Level 2 Instructor. 

Preparation

Your preparation for this check box really started when you were an early instructor, learning the skills assuming the instructor role, this along with the skills as a coach and a flyer will largely be your foundation for training the skills required within the trainer check boxes. As you grow more to understand the training system and how to develop a flyer’s and instructors capabilities you will use this knowledge to brief when you are training your instructors for the particular check boxes. Be sure to spend the time to develop the knowledge of each skill not only from a coaching and a flying perspective but also from the perspective of how the instructor should see each skill unfold and the idiosyncrasies attached to each skill.

The IBA distinguishes between the sport of indoor skydiving (engaged in by patrons with IBA accounts seeking approval of flight skills though the IBA's Flight Progression System) and recreational flying (engaged in by entertainment customers who do not intend to pursue approval of skills). While indoor skydiving is safe for all ages, the inherent risk of the activity is necessarily greater for those engaging in the sport of indoor skydiving, particularly as they progress through more sophisticated maneuvers.
