Trust me, you aren't being that way. Every new pilot acts exactly the same way. It's the only way you can learn, by asking questions. There isn't an instructor out there that doesn't want you to be a competant pilot. They will want you to be a good pilot, and they will do what is needed to do so that will happen. But there is no way in the world that you can know what they are willing to do or not do until you ask him. My advice to you would be to sit down with your instructor and talk to him about your situation. Explain to him exactly what you have posted here and tell him what your goals are. But you should at least give him a chance to help instead of just ruling it out because you think that you are bothering him.

I've been an instructor for 6 years now and I've seen lots of people like you that feel you are imposing on your instructor. You're not. As I said above, if it bothered me I wouldn't be an instructor. I am an instructor because I like seeing new people get into the hobby and I like helping them gain the skills they need to be a good pilot. I've got a feeling that your instructor would tell you pretty much the same thing. And if he's not willing to help you out then he really doesn't need to be an instructor in the first place.

Give him a chance
