FAA or Jeppesen Instructor Handbook?

Asked by: 65 views , , ,
Flight Instructor

Is there any difference between the FAA's and Jeppesen's publication of the Aviation Instructor Handbook? Im finding the free FAA version to be difficult to comprehend the abstract concepts of psychology due to sub-standard writing, structuring, and flow. 

Im still dedicating time to going through the book and create notes and flashcards but was hoping to see if anyone had any insight if Jeppesen's version was better created and easier to digest. 

Thank you.

    The FAA’s manual has been revised since then, but years ago I saw a great effort by someone. They took the list of possible questions and would find each question’s answer in the manual and highlight it. A huge effort but a sure way to make a top score on the test.
