Pilot Dar

There are student pilot forums and instructor forums this is a private pilots forum so should cater for a broad church of experience and types of private flying.

Things change very slowly in aviation and because it has always been done that way so always should be done that way is questionable?

To practice spins or not was one subject which was worthy of discussion?
Use of the chute in forced landings in a Cirrus was another? This went against conventional thinking was not approved by the manufacturer but could have merit so warranted discussion.

If a student asks a question and questionable advice is given there are plenty of qualified instructors in the forum to pounce on that advice and explain why it should not be used.

Censorship stifles freedom of speech and as long as people are respectful to each other what is said should not be stifled only corrected?

This smacks of the 9 o clock watershed for fear that children maybe watching and you have to be careful of what you say

being an anonymous forum means it should carry a health warning as there are many posters who we do not know about or their true qualifications in expressing those opinions but they are opinions and should not be treated as fact!
