Good Instructors...

I just "interviewed" a couple at local flight schools by taking little
flights with them, ostensibly just for rust removal.

What region?

doc,

I know that you did not ask for a recommendation but if I can help you
in this quest, let me recommend a name to you.

I feel extremely happy with this instructor. In fact, I am thankful
for the day when I ran into him 5 years ago.

Send me an email if you are interested.

Disclaimer: I have no personal or financial interest in this
recommendation.

You have to keep in mind that some of the better instructors out there
interview the students before taking them on. I have found the best
instructors at local flying clubs, who instruct not for building time or
making money, but just for the heck of it. The ones to stay away from are
the graduates of large 141 schools who crank out CFIs in 12 months.

There's no way I'd hire them for instrument training. It is
tough to find an instructor who really knows his stuff, is a good
teacher and is congenial enough that I'd be willing to spend 10's of
hours in a cockpit with him/her.

Just an observation. I don't expect anyone to have a solution.

If you go with a younger instructor (age 20-30) they are there for hours
until they can get a better job as I am finding, some of the even admit it.
I told my instructor that I wanted to learn all the way so I could teach
people and she looked at me puzzled and asked me WHY?

I'm just about to go out on my own (solo practice) and it's been taking so
long, I've been doing solo circuits for months now, but not with consistancy
because I can't get out there because priority seems to go to the flight
school's college students, which my instructor is assigned to. Funny, I
don't seem to pay any less so why should I get lower priority.

I just recently talked to a CFI about doing a BFR and during the
conversation he stated that his " job " would be to stress me out.
You know cross wind landings etc. Here where I live CFI,s are rather
limited. I sure didn,t think that was the way to begin a
student/Instructor relationship!!!

I would politely shake his hand and tell him that he is not the kind of
instructor that you prefer for any kind of instructions or BFR.
To me he sounds like he should take some training in being an instructior.
