So you’ve started flight training, but it’s just not working the way you expected. You’ve got a sinking feeling that you and your flight instructor just aren’t communicating like you should—or you have a downright distaste for spending any time at all with this person who is serving as a primary mentor in your aviation life.
What if I Don’t Like My Flight Instructor?
Key Takeaways:
- Many flight students encounter compatibility issues with their instructors due to random assignments, poor communication, or differing teaching/learning styles, which is a common and valid concern.
- Students should proactively address instructor mismatches by evaluating compatibility after a few lessons, seeking recommendations from trusted sources like DPEs or certified instructors, or speaking with the chief flight instructor for a reassignment.
- As the client, prioritizing a quality learning experience is essential, and students should not feel guilty about changing instructors to find one that best suits their needs and ensures an effective and enjoyable training journey.
