I tried to teach my wife to fly, she was not a bad pilot, but giving instruction was interesting, I would say "Today we are going to do "S" turn"s, she would respond "S" turns are stupid, lets do some more spins they are really fun" She hated talking on the radio and for that reason would not solo, even at an uncontrolled airport. She is a great pitch hitter and could easily and safely get the airplane on the ground if needed.
