I dunno. Maybe.
Thing is, I get a lot of ATPL holders with a TR who got through the exams with a Question Bank DVD and the six months of trial and error until the whole thing is memorized.
I'm not saying that this is the case here, but it's showing up all over this forum of late. Answers are known, but the 'why' and 'how" are not there.
Neither is there any appreciation of external factors including moments, vectors, lines of force etc.
It seems common even for some to see the aircraft as the whole situation, rather than it being one item in a fluid environment. Kind of like the tortoise and the hare analogy equated to say, engine spool-up racing against the line of force of a moving cargo palette. Who will win?
The most powerful questions I have in my interview arsenal are "how?" and "why?".
You'd be astonished at the number of blank expressions and periods of silence I get.
"Children of the magenta line" was what one pilot called them
All that being said, I'm sure "WhyByFlier" has his head screwed on, though.
