Title. How do yall other instructors manage being incorrect about something in front of a student? I recently relayed information that was only partially correct to a student about an aircraft procedure, and the student (who is quite studious which I love) discovered the full information after being questioned on the topic during a stage check.

I apologized for being wrong, accepted the new information, and told the student that even CFIs are constantly learning. I just want to have a way I can deal with scenarios like this going forward. Because they have happened before and I know they will happen again. I just want to be sure my students don’t assume everything I say is wrong because I make a mistake occasionally.
