You have to keep in mind that some of the better instructors out there
interview the students before taking them on. I have found the best instructors at local flying clubs, who instruct not for building time or making money, but just for the heck of it. The ones to stay away from are the graduates of large 141 schools who crank out CFIs in 12 months. doc wrote in : are awfully hard to find. I just "interviewed" a couple at local flight schools by taking little flights with them, ostensibly just for rust removal. There's no way I'd hire them for instrument training. It is tough to find an instructor who really knows his stuff, is a good teacher and is congenial enough that I'd be willing to spend 10's of hours in a cockpit with him/her. Just an observation. I don't expect anyone to have a solution.
