Dudley,

Don't forget, Dud, that 50% of all CFIs are below average. ((:-))

I'm sorry you have such a low opinion of flight instructors.


Uhm, Vince is alluding to the surprise of President Roosevelt (I think)
about the fact that 50 percent of the US population had (and have) a
below-average intelligence. This, as Vince's statement, is inherent in
the definition of "average" - well, not exactly, I know, but kind of,
assuming an equal distribution around the average.

Mr. Norris' (all inclusive) statement about new pilots and how they "WILL"
interface with a GPS is in my opinion incorrect. If this statement WAS
correct, it would directly address the training issue as I have stated.
There will certainly be individual new pilots who could become dependent on
a single navigational tool as indicated by Mr. Norris. This again directly
addresses the training issue, as these pilots will have been improperly
trained.
In my opinion, the individual pilots who could become GPS dependent as the
result of improper training are far below the statistic level needed to
meet the generalized statement made by Mr. Norris......Mr. Norris and Mr.
Roosevelt notwithstanding that is :-)))))))) .
