A new pilot in the family

Wouldn't it be cool if he got his CFII, and I finished up the rating
with my son as instructor?

What would be cool is if your =daughter= got her IR and CFII, and you
did it with her.

Congratulations out to Joe for his accomplishment.
Now let him get his instrument rating... and you
could work on it together! ;^)



With easy access to each other as safety pilots, they'd probably do it
faster and for less money. They can do productive and loggable
foggle time during the course of normal flying.

Now's your chance, Jay!
Actually that is probalby a really good idea. Have the whole family do
the instrument together. Study nights, flying days. Each taking turns
in the left seat with the others in the back. Most university courses
have students in the back while others fly. You learn a lot sitting in
the back. I would bet this would be the cheapest way to get the ratings
for all of you.

My CFI here at KSPI runs a course: http://10dayinstrument.com

He likes to have 2 students at the same time, taking turns in the sim &
plane. Works quite well.

Free BFRs!

You might want to start planning ahead by providing a discount on those
hourly rates. Otherwise, those could be *expensive* BFRs.

My sons are 5 and 2, so I'm watching you with no small amount of envy and
anticipation.

And congrats to the new pilot.

Don't worry, Andrew -- your 5 year old will be turning 17 in (what
seems like) about three years.

I swear to God, I just taught Joe how to ride a 2-wheeler. Now,
today, I just got back from my first ride as "passenger" in "his"
plane...

So how'd he do? What was going thru your head? I know your heart was
swelling with pride!

You're going to let your kid get his instrument rating before you do?

Seriously - congrats to him!

I'll pass that along.

Yeah...until he has you doing push--ups on the flightline for screwing up.

But, uh, Jay? You know what this means, don't you?

You're going to have to give up more yoke time.

We're still trying to work this through. Dunno if Joe can afford it,
at his pay grade...

You know what that means...

If he reads this NG, he will now be asking for a raise...

Woo hoo! Our 17-year-old son, Joe, passed his Private checkride
today, on a picture-perfect fall afternoon!

Give him Waddling Eagle's warmest congratulations.
