Sorry about the last post it was a bit of a saturday night rant.
Point and push works fine in certain aircraft. It doesn't with others. Cessna' and piper types both methods work equally well, Katana's its a right pain.
And as we all know we don't fly either but a combination of both. Its just a starting block for the students until they can get the cordination together to pitch the nose in the correct sense while adjusting the power.
What my main rant was about was not which method is best but the lack of standardisation. And the old boys pushing their particular flavour. You can be quite happy for the last 3 years then some god tells you your doing it all wrong. If they could choose then everyone teaches the same thing. The students are happier because if they get an instructor swap they don't have to relearn a new method. And if at low hours they disappear off to self hire on holiday they again don't have to spend time and money relearning the local methods. When in fact both methods the person is being taught are correct. You now have some low houred pilot not knowing if they are coming or going and there motor programing is all shot by having to change methods with relatively little experence.
