make that 3 likes for Captain Sand Dune.
I've always wondered why there are such high requirements for Chief pilots, C&T pilots and ATO's who do allot of check/testing flights, however when people what to learn to fly and they are young and most impressionable they can get in an aircraft and be stuck with a 200 hour Grade 3 instructor who is only there on an hour building mission. Surely there should be a higher requirements for instructors.
Don't go down the instructing road unless you REALLY want to do it. Your cash may be better off put towards a ME-CIR or other rating.
