tail wheel,
Fair enough, but presumably some one who is carrying out flight tests for the issue or renewal of licences or ratings has had to jump through quite a few hoops on the way. What I am a little disturbed about is what are the qualifications and experience levels of the persons that he has apparently upset. If we are informed as to the flight test or renewal that was being performed at the time that this manifestation of lack of skills by the testing officer were displayed then perhaps the statements would be more credible. Was it an initial issue CPL, initial issue IF rating, initial issue SPIFR rating, or was it a renewal after many years in the system.
Just as a reference, my first IF check was with Harry Bielby, SPIFR check was with Reg Shand, and CPL flight test was with Clarry Berryman. T
There has been a lot water under the bridge since those days, and many checkrides with many a peccadillo to overcome since then.
