Where I live, if you only instruct on calm days you'd have maybe five days a year to teach somebody to fly. Part of what we teach people is flying in the wind.
OK, let me get this straight. First, we are going to throw out the concept that the instructor is the PIC , (pilot in command), captian of the ship and responsible for all, a concept that has been in place for 100 years.
And now we can't differentiate between wind, (which is often laminar) and gusts (which are often turbulent).
And since I am a volunteer, you should remember that you get what you pay for.
