Update (March 2020): Because of
COVID-19, all of those international activities have moved to
Cyberspace until further notice.
Extracurricular activities: Giving Flight Instruction
My main extra curricular activity is teaching, not to engineering
students, but to student pilots. I am a FAA Certified Flight Instructor
(CFI), instructing both primary (for private pilot candidates),
advanced (for commercial pilot and Certified Flight
Instructors
candidates). I am also a Certified Flight Instructor with Instruments
(CFII), teaching student pilots to fly solely by reference to the
instruments. I have flown all kind of
aircraft, gliders, motor gliders, single-engine airplanes,
multi-engine airplanes, and a pure jet power airplane (
Cessana
Citation). My instruction, however, is limited to
single-engine land
(SEL) airplanes. Furthermore, I am 1/4 owner of a
Piper Dakota. In
academia, we like to "dirty our hands" and the situation is no
different in the aeronautical world:
Here I
am--literally speaking--dirtying my hands holding the propeller of the
Piper Dakota during the cylinder compression check.
