Trial flying lesson

"Ice blonde" wrote in message oups.com...
Ok, my plan is forming now.

Take cushion if not provided.
Take hidden sick bag if not provided ( I have never been sick on a
large plane)
Don't take willing or unwilling victim.
Open eyes and enjoy.
Don't take credit card as limit is over 5k and I might end up spending
too much.

And never never take the family of hippos up the CN tower in Toronto!

No flight instructors based in Oz here then?

Actually I have a friend who used to work at the airfield previously, I
am going to meet up with and ask some more questions. But I've now been
told there is a 'choice' of flying schools there, so I will need to
shop around.

Now the question is, how do you spot a good flying instructor???

Many thanks


Nice summary....

I don't think you'll 'spot' a good flight instructor, but you will know it when you found them. Not a braggart, but not
too quiet, smooth on the controls and very descriptive, maybe talking quite a bit. Probably 'young' but in no hurry to
step up to the airlines. Maybe has more than ASEL ratings, glider maybe? They will make you sweat a little but be there
when you get in a bind, letting you know the details of what went wrong and then getting you back to it again, better
this time...
