Off to being a passanger in Class A airspace i go see ya in about 10 days Back to top BTIZ Guest Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2003 2:05 am    Post subject: Re: Fired My Flight Instructor other than trying to find good weather... what is the difference.. whether you travel a 1000 miles to a new instructor.. or travel "across the river".. the "new" instructor will need to review all your training, maneuvers, and make sure you are trained in all areas subject to the PTS before he signs you off.. you were well on your way with that with the "new" instructor that checked you out at the other strip.. good luck in the search for better weather.. winter is upon us.. even in the SW.. I don't know where you are heading.. but I know a flight school that has completed a full 40hr requirement in two weeks.. granted the student lived at the flight school, flew two to three times a day and only slept at the local motel.
