Example Based Learning.

Before we get onto tips to go through the C.A.R, I just want to highlight the importance of Example Based Learning.
Examples always bring to light the relevance of a particular topic being studied.
The other reason I prefer to take an Example Based Approach to Learning is the association with the topic, helps remember key aspects of the topic without outright memorizing.

Now what examples are we talking about here?
Some of these are examples that you will gather from your AME training classes (if your instructor is the type we had!). There is a wealth of experiential knowledge to be gained from industry/trade magazines and students are encouraged to get copies of these and read (and grasp!), as much as you possibly can. A lot of what you read will be applicable to your C.A.R lessons. Just read with an eye to pick up such examples.
As we get along, I will try and share some examples from my own AME training days and
others that I have acquired over the course of time and my little experience in aviation. And, if there are any AME’s out there who would like to bring their experience to the fore, please feel free!
