I am so thankful to be able to read this forum.

I could not sleep all night worrying about the high risk I have exposed myself to all these years by letting non licensed people steer the airplanes and helicopters that I have flown for a living. ( I have even let non licensed pilots steer an R22 on floats...oh my God what was I thinking? )

Thank God I read the forum this morning, I am on the way to our airport to receive advice and training from a certified flight instructor, its never to late to correct bad habits and dangerous thinking.

Now I just need one more bit of advice.

There are two flight schools here and both schools have brand new very low time instructors on duty, I am not sure which instructor has the most experience, should I just flip a coin?

Or should I blindly just walk up to the first one I meet and rest assured that everything will be wonderful now that I have a flight instructor approved by Transport Canada to fine tune my decision making?

Chuck
