RE: The joys of instructing
Just don't forget to drill the emergency procedures stuff.. dead-stick for instance. They should not solo and be on their own before you run them through all sorts of drills pertaining to problems that may develop. Make them do approaches without the ailerons, for instance. Not necessarily landings, but at least approaches. Then have them cut to idle somewhere inconvenient..like upwind or some thing like that and have them make a safe landing, with you on the buddy box, of course.
Believe me, it will be worth it because I can almost guarantee that in the first several flights on their own, they will have dead-sticks and that training will absolutely be worth the effort.
Other than that, I know the feeling. Good stuff!!!
