Captain Kirk
Thanks for the aircraft knowledge lesson - I believe I am suffering from the symptom known as reverting to type - by day I fly a business jet and switching the master off in flight would, not only panick the captain and passengers but would also switch off (all the electrics) the power to the PFD (primary flight display) and MFD (multi function display);
........the only flight instruments left would be the standby instruments which are directly fed off the no2 pitot static ports which bypass the air data computers and are about as much use as an ash tray on a bike.
Hence I read a post about switching a master off ...........
- so my lesson learnt would be to read the posts - preferably not after a six sector day -
And where did you get the idea that a student would go off an do that for a laugh by him/herself
Can you point out where I suggested a student should practise these exercises solo ?
Please go and spend an hour in a float tank to ease whatever frustration you have. Or read up on some of the above. you seem to need to.
I don't believe patronising, personal jibes is very constructive. As instructors we should always be open to different ideas, concepts and ultimately admit when we are incorrect.
