My last two students (also hopefully literally my last two students
) both passed their instrument ride which brings my ratio to 10/2 which means I can just barely squeek in on the gold seal requirements. Instructed for over a year but I only have 10 IACRA sign-offs.
Guess that is a peril for working at a 141 school as the chief instructor performed most of the sign offs, even if they were part 61.
I love teaching instruments, its so darn fun.
