"Student: Can we fly at the week-ends, when the weather clears
Moncton: Naw, instructors only work weekdays."
I remember walking into the JAA office at 8am on a Saturday morning and seeing all the instructors there, the only time I had no weekend flying was if I asked for it off to go out, or the weather was bad.
"Student: Isn’t there a problem with that Airspeed indicator. It’s under-reading by 15 knots in straight and level at ops manual rpm (Student doing timed cross-country)"
Your some man if you can tell the speed better than your ASI, ops manuals tend to be a bit off for older a/c, try increasing your RPM next time, or amend your time.
"Student: Which way do I turn on partial panel as the turn you’ve asked for works out to be greater than 180 degrees?"
How was a turn more than 180 degrees? If heading North and asked to turn right onto west, turn right. If asked to turn to west, turn left, I'd have thought?
"Student: I’m not happy with this"
I think we got that point by now.
I finished my CPL there last month and was happy with the school, I agree with 'pneumatic boot', that the only negative was weather, but if anyone was going during the summer I'd definatly recommend the place, and even at this time of year I'd just advise to allow a little extra time for wx delays.
My two cents.
