Is it just me or has anyone else thought about the AOPA sylabus for PPL training?? When I did my FIC, thats how I was taught, that was the bible!

Now the AOPA sylabus is available to all students and indeed Instructors/ CFI's. So here we have a common, documented, industry wide method of how to teach/ fly.

Taking, the Carb. Heat as an example, I teach to select to HOT whenever RPM below 2000. That avoids the issue of taking Carb. heat on final, base or wherever else you maybe. Its a catch all method. Others maybe different.

The fact is that there is more than one way to skin a cat, and flying is the same. There are safe ways and unsafe ways.

Some more grist for the mill chaps.
