In our club there are no official instructors. If the beginner/novice feels comfortable and confident with you then thats OK. Ther are plenty of people that have been flying in my club a long time and are only too pleased to help and give advice. I have learnt alot of extra skills in teaching and gained so much more experience. Teaching some one else to fly in our club I feel I have given something back for all the hours that were given to me freely and with alot of good will. We have a scheme also that if you do not hold the BMFA "A" Certificate then you never fly alone.
