The sharp banter some QFIs issued was much more amusing - and got the message across:
(Ballsed up approach): "Shall I overshoot, Sir?" "No, let's just f***ing crash!"
(Flapless approach): "I've been in the red/reds before, Bloggs - but that's the first time I've been in the green/greens on a flapless approach!"
(Forgottten checks): "Wheels might help....."
(Early IF): "How is it that you little buggers can fly at precisely 1377 feet, but never at 1500?"
(Student unable to land on the centreline, get progressivly further right - there are workmen on the grass): "Well, you certainly got their attention that time!"
And, of course, the classic: "I've told you how to do it, I've shown you how to do it. I can do it, the aircraft can do it - SO WHY THE F*** CAN'T YOU DO IT?"
