When I was doing an instructor rating test with a real gentleman called Ricky Tate{spelling?) (anybody remember him?), way back when, he said to me
Certainly remember Rick! Recovery from full spin on limited panel for my CPL. Couldn't get a more professional dedicated gentleman!
G.A. Could use a lot more of his calibre, especially when it comes to CASA.
Rick died in the early 70s as a result of doing in his back pulling an aircraft out of a hangar. Long illness as I recall.
That instructor rating would have been a C Grade? Where the A grade automatically qualified for CFI status without the current need for ongoing micro management by control freaks.
