THINKS! Am I the only one here who finds that a little bit scary
Au contraire mon ami,
It once more confirms what I have said on here a few times. The vast majority of PPL instructors are very good at teaching their pupils the handlings skills.
They lack experience and knowledge to instill the basic airmanship skills required for any meaningful away from teh airport flying.
It is my conviction that there fore a lot of fresh PPLs hang their wings up in the 2 years following their skills test. Out of desillusion that the PPL syllabus did not train them to do that bit of flying which they thought it was going to bring them: Going places.
