The most I get to do is occasionally keep my skills sharp by pulling the power on the downwind, dumping in all the flaps, tossing in a fwd slip from abeam the numbers, doing a 180 from the downwind to the numbers.

The program I am in is a screening program. We take our students from 0 hours to 12 hours. They have to be able to safely solo no later then the 12 hours mark and safely perform all the private pilot maneuvers by this point.

I've looked in to other options. Doing some part-time work at local flight schools, doing BFR's, ICC's, night currency, cross country, etc. None of the flight schools within about 50 miles of my area are looking for an instructor or would no what to do with an extra part timer.

You know it's getting round out there when flight schools are full and can't even support bringing another instructor on board.
