fireflybob,
I would like to ask you if you are a career flight instructor? Have you instructed since the 70's and do you still love it? Any suggestions to new guys like myself would be appreciated.
kloe with thanks
No but I am employed professionally in aviation and instruct part-time but, without a doubt, instructing has been among the most enjoyable flying I have ever done. I think it's because you have an "end product" (the student) and, as everyone is different and has different challenges you have to tailor your approach to the situation.
Personally I believe that much is taught by example. Walk the talk and students will copy what you do rather than what you say!
