b. Avoidance of unnecessary distractions

Bottom line

The instructor should conduct the majority of their teaching (e.g. airspeeds, pitch attitudes, visual references, flight control inputs, engine parameters) prior to contacting tower or announcing their intentions on the CTAF at a non-towered airport. To avoid this, the instructor should only use concise prompting on approach to landings with the learner. Excessive teaching and coaching on final approach may cause missed radio transmissions from air traffic control or aircraft in the pattern.
