Beagle, I guess that's where generations differ. I want a system where a school can cope with different piloting styles. OK, a student should not be confused by different instructors but I get sick of being told "this is the way we have always done things here". Why does my CFI insist on one particular landing technique (ie he doesn't like PnP) but, in the same breath, is quite happy with the various x-wind techniques? What really annoys me is CFIs who have there own 'whims' based on lack of willingness to embrace (or even understand) different techniques.
Yes, I have had a bad day - my CFI has just insisted on a "5kts for luck" addition to SOPs, choosing to ignore the numbers promulgated in the AFM.
