I am a CFII with a whopping 40 hours of dual given.
When I am flying with an instument student, how much time should I devote to basic flying skills? I have been flying with one guy whose instrument skills are getting fairly good but he is is sort of lacking in normal landings, crosswind landings, basic airport operations and checklist habits (E.G. He will complete the after landing checklist while we are still rolling down the runway).
I have made some observations and comments to him about these things, but he does not seem real interested in improving them. Should I insist on holding him to the same high standards that I expect out of my private students?
