Cool

well, I may not have been thinking about teaching the ppl syllabus. I was thinking more along the lines of multi-engine instrument flying which takes you into controlled airspace.
The disciplines involved apply equally to a C152 or a Learjet. The latter goes a bit faster thats all.
Seems theres a lot of frustrated instructors out there. The tragedy is that most seem not to want to be where they are.
This can only detract from the very real responsibility you all have. That is to teach the very basics of flying - something that will be with the student forever.
The system of course is at fault here. Instructing should be given the value commensurate with its responsibility.
It certainly should not just be a stepping stone to bigger things.
Thats it.......good luck to all of you......but rest assured if I need a job sometime......I'll take yours! Its a dog eat pussycat world out there!
