Leaning !!!!

You know it’s funny, after my recent thread on this subject, I must admit to coming away thinking that everybody got trained in it for the PPL, that I was the odd one out, and that my instructor may have been remiss. A few people were advising me that I should get a better instructor.

But it strikes me from this thread that an awful lot of PPLs don’t get trained in it. Does anyone know whether it is part of the training sylabus or not?

After thought, my considered opinion is that PPLs should get training in it - wherever they are based, if only to instill good engine management disciplines from day one. It’s a bit like learning BUMFFICHH, most learner PPLs don’t fly retractables, but it must be a good thing to instill the U into the psyche awaiting that glorious day when we use it in vengence...
