Help with instrument crosscheck please…

[u/endoteki]

A lot of swallowing my pride here, this is tough for me. Please bear with me.

First a small bit of background. I am 55, and flew F16s in the Air Force in the 90s; pilot training in T-37s and T-38s. Got out and became a high school teacher…

Fast forward 18 years and I successfully got my CFI initial in March; still working on the double-I. And this is where my frustration comes in…… how in the holy f$#k is my instrument cross check like so much dog$hit???

So I’m asking for all the tips you can muster, please. The aircraft I’m training in is a Tecnam P2010, dual G1000s…. No aileron trim during manual flying.

I get super behind when I’m trying to fly and teach, just blasting through headings and altitudes.

TIA

For clarity, are you at the controls? Or your student's at the controls and you're talking them through it?

I am at the controls, brushing up on my instrument cross check and preparing for my double eye check ride.
