Thank you for your detailed insight!
I have often thought we should gravitate towards the USAF Instructor Pilot system. In the good old days of Cold War mudmoving I was convinced that - as an ex-creamy QFI with 750plus hrs of instructional time - I could do a better job of instructing basic weapons than the average QWI. As they told us at CFS: As a QFI you should be able to teach anything you can do yourself in an aeroplane.
What is the difference?
Here we are downwind Bloggs, maintain ….kts. turn finals here, call FINALS/IN HOT, roll out pointing upwind of the runway/target. Aim here and select flap DOWN /GUN ON, flare to land/FIRE, apply power to roll/recover, Flap to MID/Switches Safe, Turn downwind.
