It is so rewarding when I receive a phone call, an email or text from a past student telling me about a new job, qualifying in a new aircraft, obtaining an additional rating or dealing with an untoward situation that they safely handled. Collegial interaction with fellow CFIs is also a satisfying perk. As instructor pilots we know about the published four levels of learning. Actually, the fifth and highest level of learning is Teaching.”
