Student Pilot, CFI Issue

It may be an weird(like breaking up with someone but you still see them everyday lol)


This is exactly how it feels now, I have been flying with a new instructor for a little less than a week or so. I finally completed a cross-country flight I'd planned more than 3 weeks ago, and I'm on my way to completing my PPL. I feel reinvigorated.

Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to reply to my thread.

Thanks for all the advice, specifically from the new(er) CFIs, you guys are terrific. I'm currently still taking lessons from my Insrtuctor, she is a handful, I was given the option to change, however she and I talked briefly and I somehow believe I may have made a mistake by not changing when offered the opportunity.

Tonight for instance, we were scheduled to fly a bare minimum X-country flight, exactly 55NM, from the start I got the feeling she would have rathered to have elsewhere. Then this morning when we were scheduled to fly I only logged approx. one hour, because after my preflight of the A/C, I sat in the plane and waited 15 mins or so, then walked inside to find her sitting at a desk discussing JEPs Revisions with a IR student. Then even after I showed up, I pulled up a chair and grabbed a Sporty's catalog and read for about 10 mins or so, and she complains that I cannot Solo, because there isn't time. Blocks are two hours I usually get to the Airport at about 5 mins before my scheduled time for the Airplane.

This is reasonable, is it?

I'm having second thoughts, about my decision to stay with my current CFI, I believe that somehow maybe she at least in my opinion has lost some of the 'Fun' I still even see in my Pop, he's been flying for over 30 years. Maybe its just CFI'ing' I realize it is a tough job, with long hours, and relatively low pay, but the job you guys have is so awesome and is really the building block of aviation.

Goodnight,

WHY are you doing a XC before you solo? i think she is just padding her logbook at your expense.....

look for a new CFI
