There are certainly many of my students that never did this, and not something I would want, much better that you are more approachable so the student can question WIHIH
Sorry I didn't make nosewheel thing clear.
Most instructors are fine, I find it embarrassing to criticise any of them, it sounds like sour grapes, know it all, etc.
Due to financial and domestic constraints I have got a total of four exercise 14 in logbooks, 1956 gliders (ATC) 1983 gliders, 1986 C152, 2006 C152. So what would be the reaction of newly qualified instructors one third of my age during the early stages of my final push to the NPPL if I had mentioned those?
