yep congrats for ya Der Meister ! and you always sounded like an excellent flight instructor ...anyhoo was sorta wondering if when you first take on a student and after a bit of your expertise,experience spent with the new train-ee ..if you can sort of tell which ones are likely to pre-pare and apply themselves to pass their tests on the first attempt.Is it a bit of hand eye-co-ordination ,?,study memorization,? ,just plain ol aptitude ,,or some folks having a bit of the certain skillz or something like that...?
Maybe not all that important of a query ..but seriously ,it does take a special instructing style and 'panache' to develop any student to achieve their goals and accomplishment so cheers to ya [B]
and looking forward to your office in the sky too :)
