That certainly isn't my normal format.

I certainly would have asked the question if you were thinking about taking this further and then things would have changed but not by much.

Brief 10mins max if you had already said you were interested, 5 mins if its a no intention.

You would have been included in checking the oil etc. Then strap you in with safety brief.

You would have taxied it out.

You would have done the TO.

You would have flown the climb.

I would have taken it off you and trimmed it while explaining what I was doing, then you would have flown the rest of the time unless you requested that you wanted to see a stall or steep turn.

You would have then got 3 choices for the landing. Watch, follow me on the controls, or do as I tell you until I decide we are about to crash.

But then again I always did have a knack of getting PPL students to start after TF's

And please please don't worry about when you will go solo. There is so many variables that come into play in the amount of time it takes and only one of them is the pilot ability.
