Look, My point is that the basics have not changed in the 33 years & 5,500 odd hours that I have been flying. I still push forward on the sitck and cows get bigger pull back and cows get smaller.
Many new PPLs seem not even to have a good grasp of basic airmanship. Yes they can work their GPS sets better than me but many cant fly the darn aircraft.
So I think it is down to the instructors not being experienced enough to make a good pilot. Many have 2000 hours round the local area with a student but not enough actual personal flying.
