I had a conversation with an instructor friend yesterday about airspeed.
He was concerned that this thread will have pilots going out and flying too slow,
I ask him his reason for this PA28 / 75 knot approach speed and this use of only 2 stages of flap for landing.
His reply was "thats what I was told this on the instructor course", and that many pilots would not be able to judge when to raise flap during a go-around.
This seems to be a "new"(over the last five years or so) instructor thing.
May I suggest that we have people with PPLs, who should not have them, as they have never really learned to fly.
If this is the level of the "new instructors" we now have, where are we going with flight trainning??
