Tell me you're not developing CRM while convincing an attorney that we need to turn the TKS anti icing fluid on, while trying not to get spatially disoriented as he hand flies (poorly) his Mooney in IMC in his airplane, in a way that doesn't pi$$ him off enough that you lose a client. "This fluid is XX/gallon, so why do I need to waste it if we're not even picking up any ice!"

Descent planning is a lot tougher when you have to worry about shock cooling a turbocharged engine from 25,000... Especially when you're teaching a 300 hour private how to negotiate relief on that crossing restriction.

All CFIing isn't just "buzzing around the pattern in a 172" any more than being a military IP is.
