From the instructing days,
Wake up at 6 am on a Sunday morning for an 7:30 am lesson with a guy who has no other time 'period' all week to see you. (Thats right he is the client). Get to work 30 mins before and make a coffee. Get back in the car and drive to the shop to get milk which hasn't turned yellow.
Write up brief on board and have all you notes out. Use one colour only for the board because someone has taken all yours.(Mental note, steal someones elses pens this arvo when no one is around).
8am open hangar and review students file for lesson. 8.30am have another coffee due to lack of student in the vicinity. 9am have a look at Pprune (naturally) and chack emails. Have biscuit from the charter catering cupboard, and another, and another.(remember you cant afford breakfast bars)
Look at days schedule and see no more flights for the day and everyone else is off, so nobody to whinge too. Get a phone call at midday from student asking what time his flight was. Says he can make it about 5pm after he has done some chores.
Sit by the phone and take Noise complaints and Enquires from 10 year old nuffies on all the ins and outs of a 150 Commercial Package.
5 30pm student rocks up and explains how the lesson will go and how much Flight sim has helped since the last debacle. Brief student for 45 mins (this allows 30 mins of mobile phone calls he will make during the said brief)
Do the flight involving Intro to Radio calls to tower during MBZ hours because they have already gone home. Have the student get sick and lightheaded because of those excessive rate 1 turns. ("The G's are huge mate")
Debrief on lesson and recommend earlier flight when its smoother and cooler. Books in at 7:30am next Sunday without fail.
Repeat above exercise a few times, but hey its not all bad. You still get to fly.
