Talking to a student (that hasn't solo'd yet) she and the CFI took her husband to give him the view from 2500ft. I commented "How'd you like the takeoff with that weight in the backseat?" She said "I didn't notice a difference". Really! Last night I took her and the same CFI (as safety pilot) to get night current - been 2 years since I flew at night and I could tell the tail was heavy and she was only 125 and her husband is MUCH more. Is it me and just psychologically I knew it'd be different with her or was she not paying attention on the takeoff roll (possible the CFI *helped* on the takeoff since she hasn't solo'd but still!)
If she can't feel that difference she's going to be in for a surprise when she does solo when the CFI gets out.
Thoughts.
