FormationFlyer and essouira, after reading your posts I am so sorry I didn’t have you as my instructors.
I mean after 12 years of safe GA flying, I could have been using my fingers.
You can’t expect a student to learn about attitude flying with his fingers. It’s all about demonstration, why can’t instructors get it right. The whole instructor thing is becoming very sad.
What happened to good pilot’s becoming great instructors and so on. These days you get your Grade 3 straight after your CPL.
It’s too soon; your students are paying $30000+ for your knowledge and experience. Would you give a fresh out of school doctor $30K to do major surgery on your body, I think not.
Most of these new instructors are probably learning to fly as they teach. In my line of work, I get 1000-hour instructors wanting to move on in the charter world. You would expect them to be supper naturals. Well, I will reserve my comments.
