The instructor prob didnt know any better, maybe you should point it out to him, or talk to the CFI, as its not a good thing if this instructor keeps going like this as he will instruct students who go onto being instructors teaching the same thing! 4S
Which brings us quite neatly to "The rubbish taught by flying instructors"!

Is there a complete breakdown of supervision and checking? My CFI would have quickly kicked this crap out of me if I had come out with it as a Junior Instructor!
