For example, remember 29.92 on barometer is good, but would
be better if people had some idea of where 29.92 comes from. I asked
around the room, and no one knew, not even the CFI.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously. The CFI was a very likeable person, a bit young,
maybe mid 20's. I am sure he is competent as a pilot. I would not
hesitate to fly with him. But personally, I have a real hard time
being told to plug in numbers with no real understanding why. My
ability to retain quickly drops to zero doing that.
Who, exaclty, besides yourself, of course, do you think you are kidding?
