Default RE: Need advice from Instructors

Well, I did it. I passed my instructor test and even took a student up, all in the same day. Yikes! Here's how it went. I met with my former instructor at the field yesterday and asked him a few times about getting my instructor card. Well it was kind of busy down there with some people bringing new planes to check out so it was going to be a while before he could get to me. Anyway later in the day the instructor gave me the flight test and we filled out the paper work. By that time it was getting late in the day and I figured I would get in another flight or two. Next thing I know a young guy comes up to us and says "is there an instructor here?" The instructor that signed me off looks at me and says "he is." So I had my first student. [X(] It took some time to check out his plane and straighten things out but I got him out flying and he did pretty good. He's been flying on the sim and I only had to save him a couple of times. The light was fading though so I landed the plane and brought it in. All in all it went pretty good and he thanked me a several times. Hey! I just realized, he didn't bring any doughnuts. [>:] Hmmmm..... I'm going to have to put a sign up at the field or something.
