Yikes. I hope you got him straightened out. Assuming you did, how did he
react to the idea that this behavior might not be entirely desirable?

Politely. That's always nice. I'm pretty sure he's aware of it now. He
just needed somebody to grind down the rust and identify weaknesses
without helping him. He never flies alone; always has another pilot
with him anywhere he goes and doesn't take passengers, so, he won't
get in too much trouble.

Excellent. I'm always impressed at how well pilots take criticism and
correction. I guess the possibility that you might die if you ignore it
helps.
