Well, after lingering in these groups for a while and dreaming about the day
I could start flight lessons I think that day is finally here. I made a trip out to the local FBO to figure out what exactly the next step is and more specifically how I go about choosing a flight instructor. It turns out that the experienced instructors all have pretty full schedules mainly because of charter flights. There is at least one experienced CFI that might have some openings. The manager of the FBO recommended that I talk to a new CFI at the FBO. He is brand new. He just got his CFI a few months ago and he is not instrument rated. I guess I am looking for any advice on starting lessons with a "baby" CFI. Obvious concerns are 1. That he will be hesitant to put his students up for a check ride because he will not want them to fail. 2. I might miss out on the wisdom of a more experienced pilot. 3. His lack of an instrument rating will make me miss out on some wisdom in that area as well. Obviously I know that CFIs have to start with a blank slate and I am not necessarily opposed to taking up lessons with him. I'm just interested in any feedback. Thanks! Jeremy |
