WMk2,

I hear ya, and I know where you're coming from. However including "airmanship" as a pre-flight briefing topic should not be the sole preserve of the ADF. I have not instructed in the civvy world, so maybe some (hopefully lots!) of civvy instructors do spend the few minutes (and that's all it is, mostly) talking about the relevant airmanship points during each pre-flight briefings. Surely this would not adversly impact cost.

but once out there in the real world
. This is where adequate supervision should take over. But I'll leave that one for now!

"Courtesy"....now there's a concept that seems to be in short supply!
