Thank you
BENDO!
Whilst I never really
wanted to instruct, I did it anyway and thoroughly enjoyed doing it! Contrary to what some people may think, I actually found that I learnt from the students(as well as them learning from me). It also gives me much satisfaction to send a student of mine solo!!!.
Like BENDO and others, I still instruct and do charter work!!!I find that this is a good mix, and will keep you less cocky about your flying and you will appreciate charters a lot more!
Before you get into ICUS or BANKRUNS or CHARTERS, get to really know your aircraft!!!
Don't think that just reading the book and doing an endorsement is enough.Do not be afraid to ask other people questions on the aircraft, as some things are
not covered in the endorsement ie.proper use of heater, hot starts, engine management on descent etc.
There is a lot more to charter flying than getting from A-B and landing smoothly!!!
Enjoy you instructing also!!!Be known as a "happy person"...not a "grumpy-bum", as a good attitude is what it's all about!!!
