about the 8 hour rule of flight instruction...
it actually isnt too hard to hit up against this rule....
I had a scenario recently where I did:
1) afternoon scenic from Redding CA around mt. shasta ( guy was a pilot, so it counted as instruction) i think 2 hrs
2) late day 2hr day / 2 hr night dual from Redding CA to Watsonville CA and back (commcercial training)
3) early AM lesson the next day in a Katana
4) mid morning lesson with a primary.
I was doin the math cuz there was some other round-of flights in there (scenic or discovery) and it wasnt looking good. But hey, I am a hungry CFI
The funniest part of the next day was when I was talking to my boss (owner of the FBO) telling him how much I was flying, he said there was no restriction under part 91 (obviously us CFI's are more onto this than HE was). I think he was seeing the green $$$ thats all...
but about the initial thread topic.... I dont fly as often as folks in the busier flight schools. Perhaps I do about 35-50 hr per month. But, this time is really fun and diverse and I am liking it...
