I did a few renewals with FOIs .. generally good lads ... and the standard brief was along the lines of "touch it below 200 feet and I'll close both and land ahead ... "
Got some indignant looks ... but no-one ever was game to try me on... I've better things to risk my life on than playing the idiot at low level ..
Another tale always brings a smile ... a mate, needing a renewal at a location which had nothing on which he was endorsed, combined a light twin endorsement with the renewal to get the thing out of the way.
.. the instructor was adamant about Vmc demonstrations .. and you know my thoughts on that nonsense. Anyway, my buddy caused the instructor great consternation by using only part rudder deflection with his other foot locking further pedal movement .. the instructor was last heard wandering off muttering "can't understand why it didn't get any slower ..."
I think my buddy was a much more experienced instructor than the GA chappie ...
Jamair .. care to tell us a few of the details ?
