By: Nick
It is unfortunate that we cannot afford to have the higher experience for FCI's. As a Navy instructor I can't think of any one who has less than 1500 hours who teaches our NEW students to fly, but we do have taxes to offset the added expense of experience. That being said, no matter how "good" the student seemed to be I never fly in a position that would not allow me to regain controls in a timely manner. It does lead to cramps and back pain, but its safer. So far, I have yet to meet a student who, on day one, said they were completely comfortable hovering(or trying). As a good instructor, especially teaching one to hover, you MUST allow at least some students to approach and even exceed their comfort level, but never let them exceed YOUR comfort level!
