Why should flight instructors avoid distractions during deliberate practice?

Flight instructors should prioritize minimizing distractions during deliberate practice because students are more likely to achieve optimal results when their concentration is fully dedicated to the task at hand. Distractions can disrupt the learning process, preventing students from assimilating the skills being taught effectively. When practice is uninterrupted, students can fully engage with the learning material and develop their skills in a focused manner. Deliberate practice relies on sustained attention and effort, and interruptions can lead to fragmented learning experiences, resulting in poorer performance and retention of skills. Ensuring that students can practice without undue distractions fosters an environment conducive to mastering complex tasks.
