Distaff:

You can be an instructor on any subject that you have a firm understanding of, we instruct by sharing knowledge.

The issuance of and the posession of a certified flight instructor license only demonstrates that you have satisfied the authorities that you have passed " Bureaucracy "

My advise to you is become friends with the aircraft engineers and learn from them.

If you have difficulty identifying who they are, look for someone not dressed like they just returned from fighting every war known to man.

I hope SS is reading all this, it might shake his faith in the reliability of American engines.

Yawn.

I've never had a decent pint of Castle Eden in Lancashire because they don't know how to look after it over that side of Pennines. Must be same with them Yankee engines crossing Atlantic, seem to work fine over here.

Well, you're both right aren't you?

Cracked cylinders are an expensive nuisance, but they generally get caught by maintenance before they kill.

It seems to be crankshafts, crankcases, piston rods, valve stems and (in the case of continentals) those awful reduction gearboxes that actually break catastrophically.
