Now my instructor has left - no doubt my 6th lesson will be a start from scratch type thing.

Is someone trying to tell me something!!

all part of the game unfortunately.

I started with a 5 hour package and by the 5th lesson I was with an instructor who was sending texts to his mates between glancing at his watch while I am trying to do climbing and descending turns.

Also, had 13 different instructors in my first 45 hours. Eventually the school went bust (mighty Flight Academy Scotland) and yet again changed school, aircraft and instructors to take me thru my test which happened rather soon and successfully.

Fortunately they are not all that bad. But there are some shocking ones that make up for all the good work done by others.

Keep at it, and read the flight training manual to keep yourself right, in the unlikely event that your instructor is of the useless ballast type.

Unfortunately, money can buy ratings but not professionalism
