What are the wx issues that cause the cancellations? Can he go up at night, after work, in actual with you? Can you file to get out, then get into VFR conditions and fly in actual for the departure and arrival?
Set up a schedule for him. Maybe make the flights a little long - perhaps...
Flyf15, what is your student's motivation for getting the IR? Personal plane, personal flying, career? Build on the motivation. I like the thought inspired by johnpeace about possibly taking up in actual to another location, that is really an eye-opener.
Did you enter the hold a second time on the check-ride or did he just want you to go out and enter it by yourself or with and instructor?
Curiously, as it is not required by PTS, under which Area of Operation was he going to classify the bust?
Per what Flechas said 10, 10 and clear is an easier way to remember when you can descend on your approach. It is not a "rule" nor is it the regs, just a way for some people to help remember.
10 - 10 nm or whichever appropriate published portion on the approach plate
10 - 10 degrees of final...
MD11 - may I suggest a Cub, or Airaile, or good ole C150? Add to that a 20 kt headwind on final... you will feel like you are on final for... well... forever! Yet by all means, absolutely fun!
I am waiting to win the lottery to fly the bigger planes :-).
Oh, how we are forever trying to set good examples and not bust primacy!!!
Airway, good decision on your part since you will be the one in the plane. While reading this post, I thought of a training approach that I often use assuming faulty gauges or electrical system failure.
The fuel...
1/2 mile to 1/4 mile from runway is good.
The bank is going to depend on the winds. Do not limit yourself to a specific degree of bank. Let's say you have a right quartering headwind on the base leg, assuming right base. Your base leg take more time than what is alloted for rolling out of...
Delta Connection Academy - stay away. They used to have a Jet Transition course, where they put you in a simulator, no type rating. From what I understood, it was only for instructors who finished their contract and were interviewing. Would not surprise me if they opened it up to the 'public'...
I am thinking of attending this year's AOPA Expo in Tampa. Has anyone been to previous Expo's? If so, I would appreciate any recommendations on attending.
For me, it's about a 1-1/2 to 2 hour drive each way, plus $35 cost of admission. I am not cheap, just a flight instructor on a limited...
Tank, I found it much easier to fly instruments from the right seat. Because I sit further away from the instruments in the right seat, my scan is better. I do not have to move my head as much for my eyes to see all of the instruments, meaning I can usually keep all of the instruments in my...
My flight school's renter's agreement requires that the renter fly in the left seat (perhaps because traditionally pilots earning their ratings always fly in the left seat). If an instructor is on board, the student can often request to fly right seat. I think this is a good idea, as it gives...
Heard from a friend (so this is second hand information) looking at Ryan Air that they require quite a bit of time overseas - perhaps up to six months at a time (not sure what the time off is and whether you will have enough days off to make trips home).
