Correct phraeseology
Just wanting to run something past y'all. Was recently doing an insructors test, when during the forced landing, instead of leaving me to it, the FTO told me to 'dump the flaps'. What does this mean? Does it mean extend, or retract? I was really annoyed at this, thinking it meant the latter and thinking - engine failure, on finals, retract the flaps???!!! - but upon talking to someone who interpreted it as the opposite I can understand why. However, shouldn't I have been left to prove I could make it? Especially as i asked to be left to it and it would have been a great FLWOP. Also, surely an FTO should be using unambiguous phraseology too.
Thoughts?
