The instructor that did my private training was brand new and enthusiastic, and it really made a difference for me. He left before my training ended and other instructors just didn’t have that spark. For me that was huge and really helped.

Aww yeah forgot about the whole starting as class 4 thing.
Given how passionate you are for aviation, they should recognize how important that is to getting students excited and motivated. Hopefully they can see that and have some room for you!

Are you going to end up doing independent CFI work or just through WWFC? I know a guy who likes to go up with an instructor to practice emergency procedures a few times a year and needs xwind landing practice (it’s me, I’m him)

Awesome! I can imagine that is a really strange feeling. Anywhere near as weird a feeling as first solo?

Always wondered how the incumbent managed to both run a long campaign as well as govern the country. So glad ours are much shorter up here. Hopefully PP keeps it classy, but I have a feeling I may be disappointed

Was going to suggest advanced polling depending on when you were leaving. Wife and I had to do that for the provincial election as we were out of town. Spain sounds like a much better place to be at the time though!

FWIW I am strong at math and mental math, and the E6B drove me nuts for a long time. Needed it for training but haven’t touched it since. I know some people can use it very well, it just never clicked for me

Neither my wife or kids like pot pies so I’ll have to drool over yours. Doing it in the cast iron pan is just….
