As per Steve at YMMB, I keep meeting low hour guys who left him because his approach seems more geared towards more more experienced pilots adding MECIR to their already considerable VFR experience. Reports of unrealistic expectations and pressure abound.
I am doing my flying with the crew at Bini's at the moment and have had experience with quite a number of schools (moved a lot due work) and cannot say enough good things about Steve. He expects a high standard and professionalism in his students and will quickly correct you if he sees you doing something you shouldn't be doing.
However I have
never felt as relaxed in a flight test than with Steve.
He has a very calm manor about him, but will make sure he produces a pilot with a high standard, which cannot be said of all schools.
