and we have to cater for them as well.
We don't all that happens with instructors gold plating is that it drives punters away from flying and schools.

Personally I always did very relaxed checkouts and type differences training. the 30mins in the circuit was the norm.

Then when we got back I told them they were good to go and said we had an advanced handling courses, including short grass strips, mountain flying etc etc. And because they had enjoyed the checkout/differences training pretty much all of them came back for additional none required training.

If they booked the plane solo and were by themselves and spotted that we had a free instructor slot they would quite often ask for the instructor to come along as well and go and do some general handling including stalls out of any situations that both of us could think of.

But as I always taught reduce the AoA wings level, power up and clean up. We mostly got bored of that quite quickly and then started the PFL game.

Maybe the reason why I did 900hours a year when I was a full time instructor.

And to my knowledge none of mine have crashed so far touch wood.
