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 flight students and instructors is a common issue, often stemming from random assignments or differing teaching/learning styles, which can hinder progress and satisfaction.
- Students should not give up on flight training due to a poor instructor match, as finding a compatible teacher is crucial for an effective and enjoyable learning experience.
- To find a better instructor, students are advised to commit to only three initial lessons, seek recommendations (e.g., from DPEs or Gold Seal/Master CFIs), communicate their learning style, or discuss concerns and request a change with the Chief Flight Instructor.
