Hello

Basically, it's a manager job. In a training cursus, various elements, such as weather (a bigger concern in Germany or UK as in the USA or even southern France), planes availability, teachers/instructors availability must be taken in consideration and the theoretical schedules have to be modified / altered frequently. The Aufsichtsoffizier was also the first hierarchical level above his staff (flight instructors) and of course the pupils, and was in charge of the disciplinar questions. However, as far as I know, it was not seldom that the Aufsichtsoffizier assumed also teaching duties, in his own field of competences, depending on his previous background.
