Thanks for the input so far.... Glad to hear that the general opinion is that I've done nothing wrong, but I'm not really surprised at that because I'd pretty much worked that out for myself.
I was more interested in a more general case of whether people are less aware of what's going on outside their aircraft when instructing than they would be otherwise. The only person to address that so far is IRRenewal, who says: "You could argue your job at the time was just what you did: supervise your student." How true is this? How does one go about balancing the responsibility of being captain with the responsibility of being instructor?
Keep the input coming, everyone... this could be an interesting discussion.
