Francisco,

You already own a 336, correct? If so, I think you can do your training in your own aircraft. When you say you are a student pilot, do you mean you do not have your private license yet? If you have 300 hours and no license yet, that is unusual, so I just wanted to make sure I understand.

I agree with Larry, you should be following a lesson plan, even if it is informal, you should know where you are in the progression toward where you want to go, what the next steps are, etc. And you definitely should be getting a pre and postflight briefing each time. To not get this is the mark of a very poor instructor.

Ask around at the airport. Good instructors have a reputation for being good, and if you don't get what you want from the next one, then change again. I got very poor instruction from my first instructor, zero to solo, and changed instructors right after. My second instructor was excellent. Through the years, I have seen everything from horrid to superb.

Good luck,

Kevin
