My wife and I had our Discovery flights yesterday at KMGJ. I had a great time, as expected but more importantly, so did she! No air sickness which was one of her biggest worries. Particulay when she realized just how small the Da-20 and Technam LSA planes were! I could tell she was a little nervous so I was overjoyed to see a smile and wave as they taxied off the runway! She had a blast and even wanted to watch Top Gun last night after dinner lol!
After speaking with them and based a number of factors, primarily plane availability, school and CFI options, we have also decided to bypass the Light Sport license and go straight to the PPL so our flights were in the DA-20. Thank you for all the great advise and various opinions from everyone
This decision does open up a few more options for local schools and we have decided to do a discovery flight with another school out of 20N just to have a bit more perspective before making a final decision.
The CFI we flew with yesterday was nice, competent and thorough- no complaints but we were both a bit suprised by how young he was.
I wanted to ask what people feel are the primary things one should look for in a CFI and how do you make a derermination for how suitable they are in a relatively short 1-2 hour meeting/discovery flight?
Thanks.
