how do I make the steps flow for an Instruction Manual (ENGL 221).

I have the other parts completed Introduction, Content page, Materials, Conclusion, and Key Terms.

Feedback from my professor:

• All steps fully contextualized and written. Headings, sub-headings are to lead the range of users through the COMPLETED manual.
• Stays on project, but the layout confuses steps and bullets.
• There is some detail, but the effect is academic in key places. Academic is broad and incomplete as a way of progressing the reader throughout the manual.
• Headings are here--- you have to fully use Heading and then Sub-heading and lead the reader through. Steps alone, especially incomplete ones, do not focus and advance the user's understanding or confidence.
• You have tried to be technical--- which is noted, but the lack of context means these steps seem abrupt and incomplete.

This is a Technical Writing Instruction Manual

1. Should have a Introduction paragraph.
2. Theory governing the procedure or instructions if needed.
3. Use concise headings and subheadings to describe and highlight each section.
4. Leave plenty of white space around headings.
5. Use numbers for every step in a chronological process; use bullets for lists of conditions, materials, and equipment.
6. Use white space to make items in lists easy to find and read.
7. Highlight safety information and warnings. Distinguish between danger, warning, and caution.
8. Keep illustrations as simple as possible.
9. Locate illustrations at the point where the reader needs them. Don't expect readers to locate an illustration that is several pages away from the instruction to which it pertains.
10. Label every illustration, and at the appropriate point in the related text, write "See Figure X."
11. Do not begin an instruction at the bottom of one page and complete it at the top of the next page. Insert a "page break" and move the entire instruction to the next page.

Name of each step. (additional)

• For each step, give the following: purpose of the step; warnings, cautions, and notes; any conditions necessary for performing the step; time required to perform the step; and the list of materials needed for the step.
• Place instructions in chronological order.
• Number each step.
• Limit each instruction to one action.
• After you have written the instruction, state in a separate sentence the reason for the instruction but only if you believe that the reader may not follow the instruction without an explanation. Include hazard messages whenever necessary. And make sure to explain the reason for a hazard message if the risk involved is not apparent to your readers.

Step-by-step guide:

1. Introduction to Commercial Aviation

1. Obtain Commercial Multi-Engine Add-On

Action: Enroll in a multi-engine training program and log a minimum of 270 hours, including both multi-engine and single-engine flight time, to obtain a Commercial Multi-Engine Add-On rating.

1. Obtain Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Certificates

Action: Complete the necessary flight training and pass the FAA CFI Knowledge Test and Practical Exam to obtain CFI, CFII (Instrument), and MEI (Multi-Engine) certificates.

Note: Becoming a certified flight instructor allows pilots to gain teaching experience while building flight hours.

1. Get Hired as First Officer at a Charter Company

Time: Accumulate 900 Hours

Action: Continue building flight time and gaining experience by working as a flight instructor or other aviation-related jobs until reaching a total of 900 hours. Then, apply for a first officer position at a charter company.

Note: Working as a first officer at a charter company provides valuable experience in commercial operations.

1. Get Hired as First Officer at a Regional Airline

Time: Accumulate 1,500 Hours

Action: Continue building flight time and gaining experience until reaching a total of 1,500 hours. Then, apply for a first officer position at a regional airline.
