Avgeek, I’m just curious, it sounds like you’re doing ‘supervised solos’ for foreign students. You mentioned that you’re getting more flight hours than your CFI counterparts.

From the time I’ve spent in airspace around common foreign student training areas I’ve noticed a trend of (more often) communication difficulties on the radios which lend itself to those students choosing unfavorable runway choices at uncontrolled fields, lack of situational awareness of where other aircraft are in the traffic pattern, etc.

Do you feel that the high volume training you’re involved with everyday are equally as safe as your CFI counterparts that aren’t getting as many flight hours? I’ve had a couple hair-raising experiences in those types of environments (due to the language barrier), so if I’ve made any incorrect assumptions or interpretations from what you’ve communicated I apologize.
