Hmmm, yes, and the sentence before: 'During the entry, ensure that rudder is used to prevent yaw when the throttle is closed'. Should we not do that at other times, too, when the throttle is not closed?
Oh, they mean, 'Use rudder to maintain balance while you reduce power'. Why not say?
On the previous page: 'LOCATION “ABCCD”- Not above Active airfields, Built up areas, Controlled airspace, clear of Cloud (maintain VMC) and Danger areas (equally applies to prohibited and restricted areas).' So, not above controlled airspace? Not above clear of cloud?
Communication is the foundation of teaching. It needs to be precise, unambiguous, brief, and clear.
In fairness, the guide does say:
'In this Lesson Guide the lessons are based on the following assumptions:
I. The student has good aptitude and natural ability and will be conducting the training on a regular basis, possibly full-time.'
...and for that reason alone, I might be inclined to discount it for the majority of PPL training.

FI Course Jerez
Bose-x, I must agree with what you say concerning choosing a school on reputation and quality, instead of price.
My question to all....
Which FTO is the best in Jerez to do the FI Course, FTE or Fly in Spain Jerez ?
Thanks !

It all depends on where the new instructor did his FI course, ********'s current patter notes talk about raising the nose, and Ron Campbell's bible,
the Instructor Manual says raise the nose, so it depends on where you did the FI course whether you say pitch up or raise the nose, nothing to do with being slovenly.
The most important point is to give a good demonstration, after all, hearing is one of the first things that go by the wayside for a new pupil, the semantics of pitch or raise lost as he repeats to himself PAT PAT PAT !
I was talking to a pupil not long ago, and he was asking me the correct climb speed for the 152, as at his school, he had flown with two instructors
both teaching different speeds! these are the things that need to be standard in an organization.

Just blowing the dust off RAF Air Publication 1732 dated june 1939, Principles of Flying Instruction, funnily enough 1-9 are in the same order, but no mention of stalling, straight to spinning!
