OK gloves are off this time...
How many actually get the idea?
The idea that we use mathematical models to make difficult things easier to understand.
Not to make things more complicated for people that know less about it.The definition of a model is a simplified version of what's really going on right?Please don't argue on this one.
For those of you that are NOT flight instructors,here's the shocker:
We train people to be a safe proficient PRIVATE PILOT,not a rocket scientist.
That's one of the biggest problems in aviation by the way.
All the smoke & mirrors to impress the non-initiated.
Go to an airport on a weekend day and watch all the know-it-alls
in their regalia(there's a thread on this one) pretend they're Gods gift to aviation as they try to impress their non-flying victims.
I'll admit I'll lose a discussion with an aeronautical engineer but the point is wether it is of any use in actual flying.Designing yes,real life no.
How many of you know what's actually happening to your car as you drive,let alone in your engine.Does'nt stop anybody from driving though does it?
3-forces...4-forces peace to all of you..I've said my thing.
Keep the pointy end in front and the wheels down..you'll be awright...
