RE: New instructor question
I'm one who also flies along with the student on my box so I'm more on top making corrections as I see necessary. I don't relax to any great extent until the student can fly a good pattern. Then the main concentration is on takeoffs, approaches and landings.
I do slow flight with stall training well before the landing and takeoff stages as one would in full scale instruction. That way the student should have a handle on how the airplane handles at lower speeds on approach or takeoff.
