He was saying you were taught correctly not a load guff by some airline wannable thats paid 90k to be taught a load of crap about flying SEP aircraft as if its a 737.
And since they have failed to get an airline job they are now inflicting this crap on the general ga population.
Genuine question then and not a wind up one...
I don't know anything about FI training not being one but aren't they all trained to the same standard? Most of the instuctors at my club are ex RAF instructors, indeed some are ex CFS instructors, some are now airline pilots and instruct becuase they love it. There's a bottomless pit of experience.
However, to instruct at a ATO they must have done the same training as your man who can't get an airline job, so where does the disparity lie? The 'This is how to fly a circuit' lesson must be the same from all of them? I imagine there's a big book of how to teach things for instructors somewhere or am I mistaken?
