    Need advice from CFI's on how to deal with a fearful student

    You might try explaining stall speeds to him. My first time "at the controls" before I began training I had an irrational fear of "flying on a knife edge" that stalling was imminent at any time. Of course now I know we have pretty large airspeed windows that allow all sorts of different...

    Filiming training flights in cockpit

    I did it and I loved it. I even borrowed the go pro to do it. Now I wish I had bought one. It really helped me along. Instructor was hesitant at first but he thought he noticed an improvement in my flying between lessons I had it and less improvement when I didn't have it.

    What's the purpose of the idle check?

    My assumption was that if the engine so t idle and you pull it out while landing it removes the go around option or to be able to add any power to arrest decent. You always want to keep your options open!

    All fun and games until someone gets hit by jet wash.

    I stood on the beech at the bar one day. It's pretty awesome. I watched the KLM 747 arrive and depart and that was a sight! I got blasted by some jet wash but I stood almost at the waters edge. No fence riding for me!
