Pre-takeoff checklist
A friend is calling me later today to ask a few things about having his son take an introductory flight lesson. I dont know anything about the the school/club that is offering this lesson, but I'd like to give him some pointers on what to look for to feel comfortable letting his son fly with a stranger in an unknown flying contraption. I don't want to scare him, but I dont want to give false confidence either.
Should I tell him to look for an airworthiness cert, maintenance logs, CFI credentials (As a pilot should)? Should I tell him to walk away if these things aren't presented before he asks? When I learned, I knew the family who owned the school, and basically took their word for it out of my vast ignorance.
