It's also normal to shop a bit for an instructor you "click" with. Since you'll spend a decent amount of time in close quarters, under hot, cold, and stressful conditions, the relationship is important. Go chat with some more guys and gals, and see how you feel with them. Unless you just dislike the guy, it is also recommended to talk to the instructor about your feelings and expectations. Communication is a key ingredient (even requirement) between CFI and student. Sometimes too often I hear advice such as "go find another CFI.." when in reality simply sitting down with your CFI to discuss concerns and/or feelings can open up a whole new channel of communication with each other. Potentially the CFI can develop a new respect for a student because he sees they are serious about their training, know what they want and are not afraid to express themselves regarding their feelings, concerns and expectations. The student does have a level of responsibility to communicate with the instructor and the instructor has the responsibility to respond to and accept the student. From this relationship the learning process takes place. |
