Geeze you have just described every training environment
know to mankind! Yet you still teach? If I felt like
you, I would never tell anyone to ever do anything
ever again. There might be liability in it. How many
flights are your students averaging before they solo?
Seriously though, ALL, teachers assume some liability
but are rewarded with seeing someone else enjoying
what we love to do! Low passes and all!
