Yep
4-6 mile 3 degree glide approaches in a SEP without a thought about whats underneith them.
But they will argue for hours that its "industry standard and best practise" pull the power on them at three miles and they ****e themselves. Be warned if you do that to them they will try and stretch the glide with the better ones getting rid of the flap. Which is of course all the way in at 4 miles because apprently you need to be stabilised by 1000 ft, again industry standard and best practise. It usually ends up they stall in at 2 miles trying to keep the 3 degree glideslope.
And Mike there must be some good ones out there, but alot of it I think depends on who thier instructors are in the US and also there attitude to approaching training outside there training course. As a matter of interest did they turn up with that "book" of a checklist for the PA28? I takes 15 mins to just get up to the point that your ready for departure.
