Narrative:
The above mentioned flight departed mkc as an introductory instruction flight. Since my business is giving flight instruction and I do conduct this business on an every day basis, I find no validity for the investigation. As a result of the instruction given on the flight in question, one of the prospective students has begun his flight training with me. I am fully aware of the rules and regulations as they pertain to me and am not the kind of person that bucks the system. It was my intent to offer my services as flight instrument, in the hopes of gaining a new student or 2--which I did!
