Well when you consider what a pinch hitter course is, any CFI that you
respect and think will be a good fit with your flying partner (be they
wife, husband, girlfriend etc) can do a similar thing.

Some ground school, navigation, radio, how to find help. and some flying
from the right seat where they'd normally be sitting.

You aren't looking to turn this person into a private pilot (yet) but
having some familiarity with the control of the plane and how to keep
the plane where you want it as well as how to control the plane in order
to descend and land would be all that is really neccessary.

I called AOPA in February and they no longer offer the pinch-hitter

Mark,
It's great that your wife plans to take the pinch hitter course. You
never know, she may end up wanting to fly herself and you too will have
to 'fight' for PIC time like us ;-)

Glad that you like to read my rambling reports. Just hope that we
will have a good one for the next trip flying the plane back to NY.
