. So it may not necessarily be the individuals fault. May need to lay off a touch
Would it suprise you if I told you that that was the way I was taught 12 years ago at my school, and that was the way I was
REQUIRED to teach at

but why stop there. What about
1. Hatch secure - When was it opened in flight
2. PUFF - In a fixed pitch, with the 'P' being 'pitch'
you could go on
.
TEACH THE STUDENT HOW TO FLY THE AIRCRAFT THEY ARE FLYING AT THAT PRECISE MOMENT. NOT HOW YOU
THINK THEY WILL DO IT IN A 747
