Some people are quick to criticise the student when they don't achieve a certain milestone when we think they should. Skyemonster, if I were her instructor, I would be asking myself "What am
I doing wrong?" You obviously haven't.
I had a female student that took over 100 hours to gain her UPPL (yes, she was more 'senior', and we know senior people take longer to teach, regardless of gender). Yes, I flew her with other instructors, as I had doubts about
my technique. The feedback from other instructors was simply that she would take longer to train- no underlying deficiencies on either persons part.
She felt more comfortable flying with me, so we agreed to continue until her training was complete.
The ATO who tested her informed me that she was one of the best candidates he had ever tested for a PPL. That says it all IMHO.
Fluffy Cloud: Obviously, after instructing for 7 years, you haven't realised you're in the wrong profession. I've never flown with a woman who fits your description in previous posts. Perhaps it's your "instructing style" that makes them feel that way???
REDDO, MACCA, help me out here!!
