Keeping calm, Chiving on.
...you can fly local approaches without having to look at the instruments. You know where you are by what you see on the ground.
...your student takes 10min. to complete the run-up and corresponding checklist, yet misses at least 3 items but you can do it perfectly from memory in about 45sec.
...each airplane in your fleet flies nearly identical to another one, but to your students hate flying a different tail # of the same type because "it handles funny"

Your student asks you a question whose answer you don't know, but the student never realizes that due to the "Let's look it up together" technique.

...when you and the vending machine lady are on a first name basis, and you strategically time your visits to said machine when she is loading it up so you get a free "lunch". :nana2:

You do a local night flight and the only time you turn your flashlight on is to discretely read the Hobbs meter.
.....I know, I'm a chump....
.....I know, I'm a chump....
Despite this, you have a flashlight on a lanyard around your neck, a backup one in the kneeboard, and two more plus spare bulbs and batteries in the flight bag.

...Yet, like an idiot, you forgot to bring extra batteries for your headset's ANR. Again.

...When it is time for hood work, you realize you forgot to grab your Foggles and you actually entertain the idea of looking around the airplane for anything that can limit his viewing.....I mean come on, it sounds crazy but the idea is hard to shake.

If you've ever used a sectional or other random papers to create some type of partial panel work

that is where you create the "sectional hood" i have gotten pretty good at it because i am notorious for not bringing my hood (students have their own 99% of the time)

We just keep a hood in each airplane. I have a pair of foggles too, some students prefer them over the Cone of Stupidity.
...you think of practical jokes like replacing hoods with the cones that the vet puts on your dog's neck, installing buttons labeled "Freeze" (a la Frasca Mentor) in the airplanes, or filling a co-worker's cubicle with balloons.
...to make night currency more interesting, you do things like soft field takeoffs and power-off 180s.
...you can predict, for each stage of each syllabus you teach, exactly which mistakes a student will make.
...you advise your students of exactly which mistakes they will make, and are not in the least surprised when they make them anyway.

...you recite FAR referrences like referring to the bible "Well then let's check 91.205(b) to see if we need it and then lets check 91.213(d) to see what we need to do about it if it's broken
...you student is shocked when, after arguing for 15 minutes, you PROVE to him that you don't need any type of VOR/GPS/etc. for IFR flight, as required by the FAA (excluding needing a VOR in class B)
...you wonder how your instructor ever trusted you to solo an airplane with only 15 hours

...a controller-in-training gives your student an instruction, you tell your student not to do it, and you jump on the radio to say "Verify [correct instruction]."

Haha, awesome thread guys... :laff:
...If you've ever thanked yourself for not forgetting to do your "preflight" when you realized there were only 3 gallons in each side when the student read the "half full" fuel gauge and believed it!
