I can not remember once where a true student or a potential student

I am a student pilot who took ground school last year, and while
reading Jeppensen's Private Pilot textbook, found some minor
untruths. I went to the web to do more study, and was skeptical of
the backwash-causes-lift theory.

While I do not have any licenses in aviation, or formal training in
aerodynamics, I do know calculus, Newtonian physics, and theory of
gases, ...and the explanation simply did not make sense to me, not
even as a shallow-but-still-theoretically-truthful answer. You can
read the thread to see the type of responses I got. Many of the rude
responses were one-liners from people whom I'd never met, presumably
pilots. Others came from pilots who vacillated between being
thoughtful and being rude, and the remaining came from those
interrupted the thoughtful responses because they felt that being rude
was most prudent for all.

In the end, we never got very far in a real discussion.



Because you don't discuss, fjukkwit.
