Default RE: teaching someone to fly?

ORIGINAL: Tom Nied

Just don't make the mistake I made while using a buddy box to teach my g/f. When I told her I was going to take it back so she could relax a bit, I didn't release the training switch on the master Tx. One Avistar right into the ground, and I instantly knew that I was the reason. Might be good to rehearse the training flight on the ground before actually in the air. Could benefit both the trainer and the trainee. Happy training and certainly make sure that you are perfectly comfortable flying the the training aircraft in the first place.

At least you weren't busy drinking coffee and talking to your friends as the plane went in. Seen it twice up here in Northern Nevada. LOL Got to love our "certified instructors"
