Seems to me he's the kind of instructor with the right attitude and frame of mind, he'll also tell you what to look for in a CFII.
Basically, how this works verses using a flight school. I currently have roughly 3 hours of flight time so I am basically starting from scratch and my goal is to get to CFII. I am looking to do this in a timely fashion when I do decide to pull the trigger and get started.
How would working with an individual usually work? Do you usually have a private plane owned by the individual or just rent a plane and they meet you at the airport?
I guess it would depend on the individual, but how long can you expect it to take timewise, to go from 0 to CFI? I assume it would be longer than a "Fast Track" type school but any ideas or experience?
Any other general knowledge or advise would be more than welcome. I am trying to learn as much as possible so that I can make the best choice for how to get started with my flying career.
