Well, I had my check flight on Saturday as hoped, and passed it with no problems. I must admit that I felt extremely rusty, but it can’t have been too bad as my CFI said he was happy with my flying, and for me to begin instructing again.
It was a good job too, as no sooner had I got back onto the ground than I was ‘booked’ by a couple of members, ready for my duty day on Saturday.
However, a few days later, I got a call from my CFI, saying that we would have to do a couple more flights before I could begin instructing. It’s really just to satisfy legal requirements – apparently I have to have had at least three flights within the last 90 days in order to instruct. So, first thing Saturday morning (weather permitting), I will be doing the extra flights with my CFI – to include spinning and more advanced exercises. I guess I won’t be putting the Instructor Manual back on the shelf just yet!
