Many moons ago I went to Florida to do my multi-engine rating. My pre-flight briefing consisted of "Go check the gas in the Seneca"
Having never even flown a CSU aircraft, and having no handbooks or anything, it was pretty hard to work out what was going on. The only assymetrics we did were in the cruise. How bad is that for instructing technique?
Recently a student has come here to us in Aus with a UK PPL done in the USA. He only had 1.4 hours I.F. How on earth did he get a UK PPL??!!
HOWEVER we all fly our worst on check-rides and flight tests. I have seen some very good and some shocking flying from PPLs from all over the world, including the UK.
OK folks, I'm closing this thread now due to it's length, but please feel free to continue the subject on a new thread if you like.
