Yes I'm a troll. And Aircraft do not weathercock into wind, okay suit yourself.
And an instructor to boot. Following on from your statement in an earlier post I presume your were using a bit of sarcasm here. I hope you don't mean to apply the weather cocking statement to an airborne aircraft. If so, you'd better review your P of F.
Just to be clear I see it happen everyday, student enters stall crosswind. Tries to set drift with rudder because we are getting blown downwind, aircraft is unbalanced and will always result in a wing drop stall.
I've never seen this in over 4000 hours of instructing. What are you getting the student to use as a reference point? From your earlier post I get the impression you aren't actually telling them where to look. Whose fault is then if they are looking in the wrong place? I always get them to use something on the horizon or at least towards the horizon. Any drift is then imperceptible. Do you not also teach them to check the "ball" is centred?.
