I have almost 150 instructional hours but only 8 supervised solos in well over a year of instructing
Relax pal! I've been instructing part time for three and a half years, have 400 instructional hours, and have only four sup solo sign-offs. Then again I haven't been invited to collude with the CFI in logging sign-offs which I never even flew.
Problem with the system as I experience it is that under JAR, unlike under the old UK system, there is no stipulation that the supervising instructor has to be present at the aerodrome of take-off and landing. This leads to a lot of 'remote supervision' which, while apparently legal, is probably not what the JAA/CAA intended.
