Darn it is not what I think about myself that is the issue here as I know what and who I am.

My reason for starting this is to find out how many people really believe that having a flight instructor rating really means much.

For instance suppose you do not have a sea plane rating and decided to get one who would you choose to take your training from?

A certified flying instructor who has no real experience flying sea planes outside of a bare rating and a flight instructors rating.

Or.

Someone like myself who has thousands of hours flying sea planes and teaching on same with an expired flight instructors rating?

Don't jump to the conclusion that I am fishing for students as I am not.

What I am looking for is serious answers to the question.


P.S. :

Reading your posts here I noted you were having problems teaching the final stages of the landing.

Did you get it sorted out or are you still having problems, if you are I am sure I can help you out via P.M. s if you are interested.

Believe it or not I taught advanced flight training for decades and am still able to recall how to teach.
