CGB I agree when teaching anything is fair game and breaking down into components is the way to go.
But honestly if someone can do it and can control the aircraft its not even worth a mention either way. Especially for some pish engineering reason which doesn't even apply to the aircraft being flown.
this business of FI's getting pissy knickers and try and retrain when pilots do it on checkouts just shows to the bulk of experienced pilots that they are clueless and shouldn't be FI's.
Do they really think because some low houred FI tells them that its a bad idea they aren't just going to ignore them?
