After hearing horror stories of rude, obnoxious and insulting instructors from many of my
friends that already had their Pilot's License, I felt quite lucky to have been pointed in her
direction. Her patience is seemingly endless. Armed with nerves of steel and a
competency at the controls of an airplane that's nothing short of awesome, she is the epitome
of an excellent instructor.
Human nature being what it is, we learn better from our mistakes than from just being lectured.
Ms. Buckley's flying skills allowed her the freedom to let me make some rather large mistakes
without ever jeopardizing our safety. Her intuition of how to deal with my occasional
phobias about various aspects of my flight training was uncanny. Her encouragement and
support of my goal and her creative ways of helping me to understand concepts that I
was having difficulty with are a tribute to her patience and knowledge.
