to those who have called my views balderdash or speaking out of my arse...I would not check you out in any plane at the flying schools or clubs I've been employed as an instructor' (CFIIMEI)
This is a public forum and as long as we are somewhat civilized we can express our opinion.

I also am a flight instructor and teach advanced flying, I could come to your airport and see if you could be trained to actually " fly " an airplane then you would be a bit more qualified to check people out.


You said this:

you should be on the vasi/papi for all landings except when you are actively avoiding wake turbulence or practicing ''obstacle'' landings.
This is my personal opinion:

That is pure horse sh.t.
You also said:

Power on approaches are the normal way to land a plane...it is the safest, most consistent way to land a plane...BIG OR SMALL.
That is also pure horse sh.t.

Oh by the way I have been teaching flying since the 1950's and I use my real name here because I am quite content with who I am and not worried about expressing my opinion when it comes to flying.

You would be wise to re-read what I just said above.

Because that will be my last bit of advice to you on this subject.
