G'day all, I am finishing off my cpl training and have had to use a new training facility as my original school closed down; I had a flight today with my new instructor who has apparently had a 3 month break and just returned. Whilst flying today we did some VOR & NDB intercepts which were going along fine until the instructor told me I was doing them wrong (incorrect intercept angle), I checked my maths and figured I was spot on and the needle agreed with me but when I said that to the instructor he said " oh yeah....I was just tricking you".
Now I don't want to undermine him but I swear to god he was totally lost and didn't want to lose face, we also had a disagreement in regards to our location which he also claimed to be "trying to confuse me".
So my question is should I be worried? I have never had an instructor try to "trick or confuse" me before and I don't have a great deal of confidence in him, to make it worse he is the only instructor within my local area.
Any suggestions appreciated
