I am also appalled at the standard of instruction but not surprised
Totally agreed.
Sat through a spin brief and questioned the recovery technique put to me. Went flying and he saw that what he said did not result in recovery. I asked him if he knew what the Flight Manual said on the subject ......... I sometimes have pilots come to me for a quiet chat about a spin which has scared them and I ask what recovery technique then I comment that they were lucky ... read the Flight Manual.
Didn't we just have the same discussion in another thread.
