Instrument flying can be a little bit boring as an instructor! You often fly on specific headings and altitudes from ATC. In the beginning there often are quite a lot to help the students with though. They are often quite busy flying and maintain given heading and altitude so radio is sometimes too much.

I got the following students through their instrument training:

• Brian Anderson did the part 141 IR course. I got him after he was done with the simulator. He started the ground school in May. Due to weather (FL in the summertime = TS), aircraft and especially stage check pilot availability his was unable to finish his IR before the middle of August.
• Bryan Maguire did part 61 IR. Bryan and I started our FAA PPL on the same time. But in May 2003 he joined the JAA CPL course at HAI and I continued the easy way with FAA certificates.
• Corey Greene did the part 141 IR course. He started with the ground school in May straight after his PPL. We did the R22 transition at the same time as we did the simulator part of his IR. He passed his IR in the beginning of August 2004.
• Eric Mowry flew most of his IR training with Sebastian. I got him when he was close to finish stage II.
• Ingemar Dalen did the part 141 IR course and finished up just before he went back home to Norway for Christmas.
• Jonathan Chabala did the part 141 IR in close to minimum time. We had to go out and do a short flight in order for him to do his stage II check to make sure he had the minimum hours required.
• Joel Valentin did the part 141 IR course and finished up in the summer 2004.
• Jørgen Li did the part 141 IR course. He is the fastest student I have had for the IR course. He did not fail a single lesson (or stage check!) and did his IR checkride with 25.4 hours of simulated instrument time - only 0.4 more than minimum required to complete the 141 IR course.
• Keith Janusziewicz flew the first of his IR with Gary. I finished his IR up because Gary's visa run out.
• Marcus Hedtke is fastest student to start the R22 up and do the instrument checks. We were normally ready to taxi with in a few minutes from starting the engine. Marcus did his IR checkride when I were back in Denmark on vacation i May 2004.
• Pierre van Veenhuyzen. I got him in the middle of his IR training when his instructors visa expired. He finished his IR in July 2004.
• Remco Doeleman was as close as one can be to his IR without being rated already when I got him. I only flew a few flights with him before I could sign him off for his checkride.
• Rune Kyndal did the IR with Fergus and me. I did the beginning of his IR training and Fergus continued when my visa expired.

• Lee Harris. Lee did his IR in the two weeks we were in Florida in October 2005. The fastest student ever to get through an IR course. Well done Lee
