The Quality of your Instruction…

[The Phoenix Rises]

Hi PPRuNe Towers:

Thanks for your comments.

I am here to learn, and share. I am appreciative of all comments on flying. The Welshman may be a great pilot / instructor. But in my book there is no place for rudeness or bad manners of any kind, in any walk of life. Others have kindly imparted their knowledge here with style and good will. The Welshman's people skills suck.

However, I have now forgiven him...!

I know this Instructor is not that well off. But I can’t believe this occurred because of wanting to get a fee. Knowing what I now know, I think it is more likely a case of just being not terribly good at the job.

You’re a lucky person.

Does the Instructor that saved you live anywhere near me and if so can I have the telephone number?!



Circuit Basher: 8/10

Brilliant post. Thank you!

Terrifying. What happened to the owner/school, was it closed down?

Thanks for the comments. As for perception, believe me I know the difference between real rain, thunder and lightning in the air flying on a solo navex, and something in my imagination.

This thread and the comments of you folk have certainly made me decide to tackle the school about it, as you may already have seen. I am going to get to the CFI with a list, and a formal letter recording the details I am raising in the meeting. After that, I will go to the CAA. Even if I am laughed at by some.

Brilliant post, and thank you. I couldn’t agree more.



Strafer: 9/10

ditto above.



say again slowly: 9/10

Para 1: well, this one did. Para 2: I mis-read earlier, I know now you are referring to In Altissimus over the QXC. My QXC was my second solo navex. My first was that described in #1 of the original posting to this thread.




Look, folks. Flying is something I have always wanted to do. I also have a very real reason for doing it, and a very real purpose for doing it. It is also the only job I have ever wanted to do other than that which I do do. Dinner parties, rich businessmen… oh come on, please! Why mock those with lesser knowledge and ability - at the moment - than you may have?

Ok, time for another break and a cup of tea!
