Thank you Big Pistons.
You saved me a lot of typing to explain to Angles how I demonstrate what flying with one engine feels like, and we both have figured out the safety signifigance of having the "failed" engine avaliable for use should you suddenly need it.
Angel's :
You in my opinion exibit most of the arrogant know it all attributes that I abhore in some pilots, and when present in the form of a professed " instructor pilot" I pity your students.
With regard to the type rating issue, that is what the Dutch CAA inspector issued to my two customers on Sunday so go and argue with him about your thoughts on it.
As to the issue of my use of the word "advanced" in my flight training program let me put it this way Angel's, when they have reached the stage that they can handle the aircraft in the manner I teach them, they have advanced.
If the PBY is not to your standards of what you feel is a difficult airplane to fly please explain why you feel that it is not.
Maybe you would be more comfortable discussing the Airbus and the complexities of the three laws of flight and the various computer relater methods of handling failures of systems?
Hell, I'll debate you on that also, and it might be right up your alley as flying the Bus is just like a video game.
Once again Angles I have been flying multi engine aircraft for over forty years and please don't be so condesending with your posts, I just may have forgotten more types of airplanes that I have flown than you actually have flown.
