The communication between a student and his instructor is the most important factor in learning to fly. If
you understand what the instructor is telling you then stick with that instructor. If after a lesson you think "I didn't understand a thing he said"
then you should find another instructor. Scott Brooksby, DDS, CFII

Scott is an avid flyer and loves to teach and fly. He earned his instructor's rating in March of 2001. One of the problems
that seems to plague many flight students is that often the flight instructors
at many flight schools are teaching just to build time so that they can fly
for the airlines. Often the student would build many hours, but never solo,
or the instructor would leave and the student would have to play catch up
with another instructor. This can be frustrating and expensive.
Dr. Brooksby decided that he could use his love of flying and teaching
to help others learn to fly. He wanted to find a way for the average
person to be able to learn to fly. He developed several programs to
help people accomplish this goal. The first program is the REFER AND
FLY program. Each time a person refers a friend to
Dr. Brooksby's dental practice they earn
one hour of free flight instruction. If a patient has more than $2,000
of dental work done, Dr. Brooksby pays for the airplane rental. Since the
average person earns their pilots license in 40 to 60 hours, this can
help Dr. Brooksby's dental practice as it helps the student pay for his
flying.
