The thing is, in my SOPs manual it has the timing begins when the turn onto the reciprocal is complete, it also says that 15-18 degrees will give the required performance, so this forum was purely to seek others opinions on the matter and opening my mind before approaching him about doing things a little differently. Again I do understand where you are coming from though, so thanks.
If it's black and white in the manual then there is no question. If this trainer wishes not to follow simple SOPs like this, then what other procedures are being violated in day to day flying?
