I once had a ten-second instruction. Nobody logged it.

I was flying around in circles, and the airport owner (CFI) asked if I
could fly him 4.2 miles to another airport. I said sure.

As we were flying over, I thought to myself that this was the first
time I had flown with an instructor, but wasn't receiving instruction.

As I was on the downwind, about to turn base, Gregg reached over and
pulled the power. He said "You just lost your engine - where are you
going to land".

I replied "In those trees - just short of the runway", as I pushed the
power back in.



It took you 10 seconds to teach him the laws of physics?
