What I meant is I am aware that a lot of flying instructors these days are just young blokes/girls who recently got their instructor ratings and now teaching just to get their hours up. Having said that, a lot of them don’t really have quite enough experience to teach someone to fly… Aviation is just one of those funny industries, where pilots become instructors as a first job, as opposed to last. I am a strong believer that best flying instructors are retired testing pilots, ex Capitans etc… So my question is: how do you find such flying instructors without actually offending anyone by joining a flying school and explicitly telling the young instructors that you don’t want them to teach you?
