Thanks , Another CFI.,, Your comments are exactly what I have been trying to point out for years.
Flight training has been taken over by the lets make up a new acronymn crowd who sit in dark corners and dream up nifty sounding new explinations and unneccesary thought patterns to make what was straightfoward difficult.
Add to that some of the goofy new ideas on how to fly two crew airplanes and we have to thank God that the airplane designers are turning out smart airplanes to save us from the dumb flying techniques of some of the pilots that I observe sharing the airspace with us.
Back to inst. flying. When I trained for my commercial license we had to demonstrate needle, ball & airspeed recovery from unusual attitudes. Once learned it made the transition to instrument flying much easier.
Having to much information crammed into any learning process will accomplish two things. Extend the learning time frame and dumb down the end product due to not fully understanding the basics.
There all you guys and gals have a go at me and show me the error of my ways

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
