Difficult 1st Days Instructing - Comments please
I have my first days instructing tommorrow, our club CFI has kindly arranged for me to do a couple of Post PPL checkouts, first one is a guy who hasnt flown for a number of months since doing his skill test last year and the second one is a very senior pilot who has just joined our club and needs a checkout for insurance purposes.
He does not know my experience (or lack of) do I "Come Clean" or not mention my lack of instructional experience and get through it best I can and retain a modicum of self confidence for the rest of the day.
I feel happy with my abilitys and am not timid I just thought a couple of trial lessons would have been more appropiate
I think that a suitable agenda would be:
Climb out to practise area, couple of clean stalls, steep turn either direction touch drill for engine fire in flight into a PFL 2 circuits 1 x-wind, park aeroplane and breathe deep 40 minutes tops
An inexperienced professional looking for some friendly advice.
Ta very much
