I'm a relatively new grade III instructor, about 2 months or so now, flying r22's and 44’s.
I've always flown with my feet on the floor and pretty much used the top part of my foot and my toes to control the pedals, it gives me nice control.
I've been instructing some new students and my CFI has been telling them to put their feet firmly on the pedals - not touching the floor. Now I find all their pedal movements almost aggressive and slow to react and I’m not sure which is best.
What is the general practice? What do you guys do?
And any instructors, what do you teach your students? Any tips on pedal usage for new students as most seem to struggle with them.
Thanks for any input
