Why grateful? Like a lot of new instructors, our colleague has
structured his flying career with an eye toward maximizing
return on investment. His success has been impressive. He was ready for his
commercial checkride by the time he'd amassed the required experience, then
transferred that training to the opposite seat so efficiently that he earned his
instructor's certificate with just 10 more hours of flight time. Taking on his own
students finally enabled him to start flying at somebody else's expense. Still, he's not
yet what most of us would call a high-timer. By the day of that double-I ride he'd
accrued about 400 hours, including around 80 of dual given and perhaps 70 hours
of instrument time. No more than 10 were in actual IMC.
