Daughter flying

[malexander]

I'm proud to say my daughter finally got to start flying lessons again. She started about 6 years ago, but college seemed to get in the way. She had issues with her instructor too. He was going through a divorce and seemed to be taking his "problems" out on other females. Anyway, she had 8 hrs. logged upon resuming with her new instructor. She's got 2.4 hrs. thus far with him, he's impressed with her knowledge. Says she'll probably be ready to solo in 8 or so more hours. Oh, and she likes her instructor. The best thing is, is a new young pilot in the making.

That's great to hear, good for her for getting back on the horse! Sometimes the road is longer and more challenging than we think it will be. My own training saga bears this out. But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything, it has more than met my expectations.

Regarding the first instructor, there's no excuse for that sort of behavior. I've found that people who take things out on others are best avoided no matter what they might otherwise have to offer.

Thanks Bunkie. It wasn't a big deal for her not having time. We own the 150 and we live on an airpark. The airplane stays at the house so all she needed was the time. Now she's out of college, has a job, and time to fly. So she's doing good AND having fun!!

Good for her, keep us informed about her progress.

And not to get between her and the instructor, I'd think you could go up with her and allow some extra practice.
