Icarus
On a hot gusty day with 4 POB in a 172, yes I do think it is important to recognise and deal with a stall/spin.
On 150 Hr CPLs we will have to agree to disagree. In the last 5 years I have 'flown' with about 6. Of those I'd rent a plane to 1.
All of the employers i know do lament the inability to do an oil change (so...TEACH IT) they lament the inability to confidently fly the aeroplane, none yet (and there are many) have ever worried about businessacuman. That either comes or they join QANTAS.
How many have I tested. Nil. I made that clear. I gave away any thoughts of a career in aviation when I realised the slim profits make for a backbiting industry interested only in squeezing blood from a stone, not a quality product.
Call me what you will, but in a way I do lament the old days, before the 'K-mart' schools started seroiusly CHURNING CPLs who, with little else to do, become uninspiring, poorly paid (or unpaid) instructors awaiting the call that never comes.
Let PPLs with 500 hours teach, put some competition in the PPL training market
