Just where do you start?
Having had a bit of a sabbatical after enforced redundancy from my last job I decided to take up the offer of instructing at the local club which I know well.
One of my first "students" is a PPL with 130 hours who wishes to qualify for an IMC rating.
Just done the first trip to establish rapport and see the "lay of the land". Basically this man can fly an aircraft safely and his early attempts at instrument flying quite sound. However, everything else was pretty poor - a lack of any enroute checks, fuel pump goes off at 500 ft agl, incorrect level off technique from the climb, etc etc!!
Just where do you start with someong like this? I don't want to nitpick but I feel that I have to do something to improve his standard. The trouble is he has flown with a number of different organisations and a multitude of instructors and he has all sorts of reaasons for doing what he does!!
Any ideas??
