Thumbs up You are Paying

Hi Scorpion83 ,
First, you are paying him/her to be in the aircraft to teach you to fly. You are paying him/her!!!!!! You are not paying him/her to be abusive, offensive and insulting. You are paying him/her to teach you, and assist you to improve your flying.

DON”T PUT UP WITH AN INSULTIVE INSTRUCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only one time should the voiced be raised in the cockpit. That is in a critical situation. And the voice should not be aimed at you, but rather at the situation that needs immediate attention. ( FUL POWER!! NOSE UP, GO AROUND ) and shrieking should be a last resort!! And that is the only time an instructor should yell. If they bellow in a non-critical situation, then they have a problem, with themselves.

YOU MUST CHANGE INSTRUCTORS

Report the style of teaching to the Chief Pilot and question him/her if it’s the schools typical method of teaching in an aeroplane. The answer will be no, I’m sure.

Otherwise, TELL the instructor, to adjust his teaching technique, to suit your style, if he can’t then erase him from you air classes. You pay him, with your money. Never ever put up with some one that you are not happy in, in any field, if you are paying them!!!!!!!!
