Nonetheless, the conceptual differences are the stuff really good CFI-I's are made of, hopefully in a briefing or debriefing. |

I had an opportunity to fly with him for my IR stage check rides (but not my final check, unfortunately). It is a privilege to fly with someone like this. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Cal Aggie Flying Farmers Sacramento, CA |
