And let me say, it was the easiest, most satisfying $80 I have ever made in 2 hours. Comparing that to when I left to go to my real job immediately after the lesson, washing dishes, and made a meager $60 in 5 hours of work that is 4x as hard, I've gotta say that I really can't wait to get a full list of students. This is not to put down dishwashing (been doing it for 2 years to pay for flying), but being a CFI is 1000x better in comparison.
I think that the coolest thing was that the student actually had more hours than me, but hadn't flown in a 360 days and wanted to get IFR recurrent on the SIM before she needed an IPC at the one year mark. It's kind of scary how fast your knowledge can deteriorate in less than a year if you don't use it. (I actually had to look at her previous instructors' entries to make sure that I logged it right lol, I'm pathetic). Umm, dumb question that I should probably look up, but... can I log the simulated instrument time that I teach to a student in the SIM? If it is of any worth, I am an IGI as well as CFII.
Thanks,
