A C150 CFI FEELS THAT HE WAS 'PUSHING' HIS 6 YR INACTIVE STUDENT PLT AND ADMITS TO MAKING SOME POOR DECISIONS AND EXHIBITING POOR FLYING TEACHING TECHNIQUES WHILE DOING LNDG PRACTICE AT 3GM; MI.

Narrative

ACTING AS PIC AND CFI; I WAS CHKING OUT AND COMPLETING THE FLT PORTION OF BFR FOR PLT WHO HAD BEEN INACTIVE FOR 6 YRS. AFTER COMPLETION OF AIR WORK (SLOW FLT; STALLS; STEEP TURNS; EMER PROC); WE PROCEEDED TO ARPT FOR TRAINING WORK. WE HAD DEPARTED MKG ABOUT 1 HR PRIOR AND AT THAT TIME; WIND WAS VARIABLE AND RWY 6 WAS IN USE. THE LNDG ARPT IS APPROX 8 MI S OF MKG WITH RWYS 9/27 AND 18/36. AS WE WERE STARTING TO RUN LATE; I ASSUMED THE WIND WAS THE SAME AS MKG AT DEP. THE WIND HAD ACTUALLY REVERSED AND NOW WAS 10 KTS OUT OF THE W; SO WE MADE A LNDG DOWNWIND; AND ME NOT REALIZING IT OR EVEN CHKING; LANDED; TAXIED BACK TO AN INTXN AND PROCEEDED TO DEPART ON RWY 9; (ANOTHER PLT HEARD OUR TFC CALL AND ALSO LANDED ON RWY 9). WE THEN PROCEEDED TO USE RWYS 18/36 FOR THE XWIND PRACTICE AND WHILE LNDG ON RWY 36; I LET THE PLANE GET AWAY AND WE VEERED OFF THE RWY. I RECOVERED THE PLANE AND GOT IT BACK ON THE RWY WITH NO FURTHER PROBS. I BELIEVE MY ACTIONS THAT DAY; WHILE NOT RECKLESS OR CARELESS; LEFT MUCH TO BE DESIRED IN TERMS OF PLTING TECHNIQUE AND INSTRUCTION. IN RETROSPECT; I REALIZE THAT I WAS PUSHING THE INACTIVE PLT RATHER THAT LETTING THE PLT SET HIS OWN PACE/COMFORT LEVEL AND ME ASSUMING MORE OF AN EVAL ROLE. I WAS CONCERNED THE PLT WOULD FEEL I WAS HOLDING HIM BACK OR DELAYING HIS RETURN TO FLYING. IN THAT MINDSET; I ALLOWED VERY SLOPPY AND UNSATISFACTORY SITS TO DEVELOP. IN THE FUTURE; I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN BY CTLING AND SLOWING THE PACE -- NOT PUSHING AND NOT TO WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT THE HOBBS METER; AND MAKE THE PRIORITY ABOUT GOOD TECHNIQUE AND SAFETY.
