Mentoring

Is anyone out there mentoring another pilot?
I have a friend I have been mentoring going on four years now.
Today we were reviewing aircraft and operating procedures for a Turbo
Arrow IV she will be taking on a trip next weekend.
Also, we reviewed avionics setups for instrument approaches.
We ususally fly together as safety pilot for each other once a month.

I'm not mentoring one now, but have done so many times in my career.
Probably many of us here have mentored at one time or another.

There is one new pilot I find myself on the mentoring end of, but not so
strongly I'd actually call it that.

I mentored my favorite pilot -- my wife, Mary -- from start to finish. I
learned as much as she did, methinks.

I've taken many people for their first plane ride, and I know one girl in
particular who started taking lessons after going for a ride with us.

I've done this for pilots that want to get into backcountry flying.
We usually do some brush up work on short/soft field procedures and
spot landings. Then we head out to a local short dirt strip with a
cliff on one end and a mountain on the other. If the can operate
safely out of there, then I take 'em along on my trips to MT and ID for
the real thing.
