I was PIC and therefore responsible for the safety of the flight. While I'm not a CFI and am admittedly very inexperienced, I made sure we were at sufficient altitude and was constantly checking everything before letting her take control. And all I allowed was a few turns. The instant anything would have strayed from completely comfortable I would have taken the controls back.<BR/><BR/>I think one of the best ways to get other people excited about aviation is to show them there's nothing inherently hard about flying... you just have to learn, like with anything else!<BR/><BR/>And no, that's never an excuse to allow someone to do something stupid. Which did not happen here, nor do I ever intend to let happen.<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving! :)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417693701650847558.post-60446307430009812732008-11-27T16:54:00.000-05:002008-11-27T16:54:00.000-05:00Hmm, you might want to check into the legality of ...Hmm, you might want to check into the legality of allowing a non-student pilot to operate the controls of an airplane with you not being a qualified instructor and all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417693701650847558.post-63935844176243026582008-11-26T14:55:00.000-05:002008-11-26T14:55:00.000-05:00Great job, Steve!
