.....you have your first flight in five days and after level off have to come back and ground the plane...
 
when your student does a go-around pitches up for Vx gets to 40kts and 10 feet off the ground takes out the flaps, you take the controls and put it back on the runway taxi off and realize that your heart didn't even increase a single beat per min.

If he'd just done Vx + 10......

...you've done the same cross countries so many times you know immediately if the student isn't on course without taking out the sectional

Never had it happen yet, I always tell my student before you key the mike repeat what I say because I don't want other instructors making fun of me.

well i'll do that when the student is just learning radios, but eventually they have to think by themselves...and this student was no rookie, in fact he had his private license. :banghead:

FAIL.

...the words "simulator block" cause you to dig out your most devious instrument approaches and cackle evilly.
 
You get back from flying with a new instrument student and have "sea legs" because they fly the airplane about as smoothly as a small boat in 25ft. stormy seas.
 
...You get excited because your student is as excited about the lesson as you are.

I had a great first local night flight tonight with one of my students. Picture perfect, doing power-on stalls while holding stars, (Orion's belt) in the wind screen.

It was a good night.
 
if you can dig out some approaches for Innsbruck, or London City :)

I love using London City with that 6 degree glidepath! I had some UK students a few weeks back and the showed me an runway in France that is on a 12 degree slope with only one way in and out. I will see if I can find it and post it.
