For sure! At my last flying club, all the instructors were part time. I just think it’s awesome that there is enough interest in learning to fly that they’re all booked with students. As a student pilot, we owe people like yourself a debt of gratitude for spending your time teaching us how to...

Mscard88 & Mike, Thanks! I checked with the flying activity. All 21 of their CFIs are booked right now. I suppose that’s great for GA, but rough for me. I arrive Monday so I’ll go poke around the hangar when I get there and see what’s available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
