Hi GEG,
Just my student pilot 2 cents but I believe its a great idea especially if you feel like you have hit a plateau for too long. I found out through personal experience that even taking a flight as a passenger with another private pilot can be very educational. Just observing how accurately a PP with a couple of hundred hrs holds altitude, keeps the airplane on the centerline while taxing, keeps the ball in the middle, corrects for wind, handles radio etc gives you a good perspective of where you stand. Again just my 2 cents but it helped me a lot. Good luck, Girish Pai GEG wrote: Hi everyone, I'm a student with about 10 flights under my belt. I had an instructor for the first 4 that I really liked. I departed for a while, then had a new instructor that I also really like - but for COMPLETELY different reasons, and I can consider him "acceptable", but not great. I wish I could combine them both. I do some teaching at my old University as a guest, and like to balance the conceptual view, preparation, but also have students work and struggle just a little bit in order to make them think through situations and get a better grasp. (I mean struggle with ground school issues, not while in the air.) (I like this approach for me, anyway . . . hee hee.) There are 2 other instructors at my school that I like as people and as personality, and a friend of mine uses one of those guys. I'm curious to know if it's a bad idea to "try" another instructor for a flight, just to see. Who knows, maybe he's really good. On the flip side, if it's at the same school, will I create an adversarial or acrimonious situation by "cheating" on my instructor - who I'm actually quite fine with? Thanks! Gary |
