Ground Instructor is defined as which of the following?

• A. Flight attendant who teaches training courses or IOE and line checks.
• B. A pilot in training.
• C. A maintenance supervisor.
• D. A dispatcher who schedules flights.

Answer: (A)

Ground Instructor refers to the person who leads training on the ground and oversees training activities such as IOE and line checks. In SkyWest’s context, this role is filled by a flight attendant who teaches training courses and guides IOE and line checks, focusing on delivering instruction and evaluating trainees to ensure standards are met. The other options describe roles whose primary duties aren’t about conducting training or evaluating trainees: a pilot in training is the learner, not the instructor; a maintenance supervisor oversees aircraft maintenance; a dispatcher handles flight scheduling.
