A month ago I received and student who seems to be having some kind of attention problems. I am instructor number 4 and when I received him, he was 70 hours of flight training and quite far to be a Private Pilot. . I talked to the previous instructors and they told me that the student seemed too have some sort of attention problem
I started to work with him and it seemed they were right. He forgot things like :
1. turning off the lights of his car (after being told 4 times to turn it off)
2. lost 3 cell phones already
3. Taxi with the flaps down after landing.
4. He bought a multi PTS thinking it was a PPL PTS and finally realizing his mistake after two weeks.
He has the will power to learn to fly, and that is the only reason why I continue to try to help him. I already talked to the owner of the school about this situation but It was not much help at all.
My question to you guys is :
Should I talk to a medical examiner about his possible condition ? Should I transfer him to a more experienced instructor ? Should I just wait until he gets his PPL with 110 hours "maybe" ?
Any questions and advise will be very appreciate it.
Thank you
