Frank Robinson said on the safety course that, at one point, so many people were crashing R22s during practice autos that he seriously wanted to ban people from doing autos in them!
I've lost count of the number of students who can enter an PFL fine, but can't pull a circuit breaker and do a power-on landing without stuffing the approach up (bad field, downwind, too fast, too much R.O.D.) etc.
Let's try to make training a bit more 'realistic' eh?
Also, I see a lot of PPL holders who still ask instructors to make decisions for them ("what do you think, is the weather ok?"). It's fine to take advice from instructors, but students really should be taught some decision making skills.
