Hey guys you're all over reacting....

A colleagues son was at a certain flying club/school at Humberside at the weekend and was in conversation with their new CFI who stated quite categorically that icing was not a problem on aircraft. The expense to have a citation or similar de-iced was not worth the risk of icing being a problem... this filtered down to all aircraft!!

How on earth are students expected to learn the safety rules when plonkers like this are giving out recommendations such as this.

HE also hs a different view on spin recovery from the long standing highly qualified instructor, (who also is a qualified aeros pilot and we think instructor aswell) which totally contradicts the rule book for a PA 28.

Dont think this guy knows what he is doing or talking about.

Advised the son to stay clear from the lonely sounding club and go to a more safety orientated one!!
