When you listen to all the neat little phrases that have come into play in the instructors vocabulary, such " another tool in my tool box " you will find that they are only slick sounding words with absoutely no meaning to the reality of flight instruction. It is evident that the instructor knowledge / skills are going down hill.

Just ride with the average new pilot today and it is evident that the basics of flight were glossed over.

Very few understand attitudes and movements,,,,almost no one has the vaugest idea of what rudders are for, except taxiing so how in hell can they fly an airplane accurately????

No wonder they land on the nosewheels, I am suprised they land more than once.
