Natural talent
Ever had a student flying better than you?
Oh, yes, several times! I've never reckoned myself to be a natural pilot, had to work at it to get my PPL, so can empathise with those who take a little time to 'get it'.
The young 17 and 18 yr old studes I get occasionally who just have that natural talent are a joy to watch, I just get a buzz from thinking I've helped them on their way. Some of them I hear are now instructors themselves...
It has occurred to me latterly that we don't actually TEACH people to fly, we just provide the right environment for them to learn for themselves.
