I have been flying since the 70's and have held an instructors rating since the 80's (we don't use it for time building in Canada). I honestly have never seen this technique or even heard of it!!! How many here have ever seen any pilots actually do this? On some aircraft t/r thrust is so effective, abrupt pedal inputs can damage the airframe.
I have been flying cranes for 9 years, the pedals are extremely heavy and take much effort to move as there are built in restrictors...other than brake usage, feet are resting on the floor.
I would like too hear nuggets, what is your CFI's reason for this technique???
