I can't find any user of that name.

Please can you post the link to his profile or to a thread with a post of theirs?

Some critique. It may be the Internet, but people judge what they read almost instantly, especially re: an attitude. I do this, and I have some feedback for you. You have great energy and an obvious passion for flying. Communicating is not yet your strong suit. Your posts exude a kind of cockiness and know it all that detracts from your message. It may be a language thing, then again, the Internet may be at fault.

When Flight Safety and Emergency procedures come up, there is a need to assume that some who read or hear will take as fact something not considered fully. One example: Many times you refer to a safe altitude without a reference to distance away from the field. An obvious connection, but you neglect it. You have heard some valid criticism from others here, but you treat it defensively. Ego has No place in this discussion. I wish you the best, and I'd like to pass along a final comment from my last Instructor.

The Pilot Certificate is a License to learn. My first instructor, after forty years of flying including F4U's off Carriers for the Navy, busted minimums one night coming home and flew into a Building. Eight people died.

There is always more to flying than you think.

Tailwinds, Airfoil

He appears either to have upset one of the mods or he may have withdrawn himself, of course,.as he is no longer an active user.

It is not an ordinary ban - if it was I would still be able to see the account.

I have asked in the admin forum if anyone knows what happened - e.g. did he request to have his account deleted (an unusual step). If so, it is permanently gone.

If I hear anything I'll let you know.

I have been reliably informed that airfoilmod requested that his username and details be removed from PPRuNe, and this was duly carried out by the admins.

His posts remain as they were, but are obviously no longer searchable under the username, as it no longer exists.

I have no further information.
