I wouldn't want the responsibility, nor would I want to be involved in allowing the risk for someone without being able to affect any bad outcome. It has nothing to do with money. And I had that attitude way back when I was a new CFI -- it's MUCH worse in today's litigious society, in addition to the wondering how I would live with myself if something went wrong. There's also a limit to how well you can judge someone's performance remotely, compared to being right there.

If you want to get your CFI and offer this type of training, have at it, though.

First: You do not allow someone to solo? Once someone is signed off to solo just how are you going to help if something goes wrong?

Second: What responsibility. Its only you and the student who know what is being done. Lets just say something does go wrong. Just how does this come back to anyone standing on the ground? You are standing on the ground looking up at an airplane and you are in trouble. Why not just get in your car and drive off.

By this comment you would think I said:
I have never flown before and want to climb into a single seat airplane and do some training who wants to watch?
