WHEN MY DAUGHTERS were small, rambunctious, and prone to singing about virtually every aspect of their daily lives, one of their favorite tunes was sung by a bouncy purple dinosaur named Barney. It was not at all unusual to hear, “The wheels on the bus go round and round,” for hours on end at our house.
ONE OF THE things you’ll learn after reading Ron Chernow’s excellent book, Alexander Hamilton, is just how much Hamilton was influenced by George Washington. Chernow suggests that Hamilton’s impulsive nature and raging intellect were shaped by the mature presence of George Washington during the Revolutionary War and this country’s first two administrations. When Washington died, Hamilton’s behavior tended toward the extreme.
For many flight instructors, there’s a benefit to having a mature presence to help guide their behavior. This influence may come in many forms. It can take the form of a highly experienced and wise instructor, but it can also take the form of a defined code of ethics. I’m speaking specifically of the newly introduced Flight Instructors Model Code of Conduct. It’s free for your perusal online.
This code was developed by some of aviation’s most professional players. It draws on decades of their personal experience and research. Its intent is to recommend operating practices that will improve the quality of flight instruction and enhance the safety of flight-training operations.
What do you gain by examining the Flight Instructor Moral Code of Conduct? There are many good reasons to do this, but in my opinion the most important of them is that this code gives you a good baseline against which to gauge your present level of professional conduct and commitment.
When questions arise about whether your course of action is correct, you might find just the guidance you need in this professional reference. Had Hamilton not lost the moral guidance of Washington, he might very well have been our second president. The Code of Conduct is something you don’t have to lose.
