How does a novice judge an instructor?
I am in the process of choosing a school for my PPL. I have always wanted to fly but up to now felt I would be unable to for health reasons. I have no intention of pursuing a flying career.. .. .Maybe a more pertinent question than 'which school?' is 'which teacher?'. .. .How would you advise a total novice who has never since childhood been in a light aircraft to judge if an instructor is good? . .Are older instructors better than youger ones who have not long ago done their own PPL's?. .. .(See the 'rant' thread in this forum). .. .Thankyou for any advice that may be forthcoming; I have been wanting to fly for a long time and I want to give myself the best chance.
