That would kind of concern me if my chief flight instructor said he didn't have time to write a recommendation letter. Anybody can find 20 minutes to write something if they are familiar with your flying. I would recommend telling him that you just don't feel comfortable doing this, and if he could take a few minutes at his convenience, that you would great appreciate it. A letter of few words would be more effective than an essay anyway! No body is going to read a 2 page letter blabbing about how great you are. (even though I'm sure you're a great pilot!) Hope it works out for you.
