In the event that

You get a checkout flight i.e. the club wants members to go with an instructor because it's been more than 30 days, don't bother teaching them anything UNLESS they would like your input.


An example of this, person who is a PPL holder does a poor full and free movement of controls, does not check to see that aileron goes down that side and up this side etc. If you ask me, that's really worrying but hey you get all sorts.

They are after all not on a PPL test or bieannul review. In a nut shell, you are not an examiner when dealing with PPL holders.


Should you get students, by all means teach them the way you have been taught during your FI course.
If they do something unsafe, make it clear why they should not do so and so, otherwise they won't get it. *some never do*
