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:
- Incompatibility between a flight student and instructor is common, often due to random assignments or differing teaching/learning styles, which can lead to frustration and hinder progress.
- Students are "clients" and should not settle for a poor instructor match; it's crucial for an effective and enjoyable flight training experience.
- If a match isn't working after a few lessons, students are encouraged to proactively seek a better instructor by communicating their needs, asking for recommendations (e.g., from DPEs or Gold Seal CFIs), or speaking with the chief flight instructor.
