Once we were back on the ground and with his boss close by I left
him reading about them in the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook they
had in the office.

That's incredible. When I took my CFI Ride, I had to demonstrate a
maximum effort forward slip on final. Kicked out when I was over the
fence and hit the numbers. Seems as if your instructor didn't know the
difference between a slip and a skid.


Since this was over 20 years ago I often wonder if this guy is sitting
in the left seat of a 747 somewhere. It kind of scares me.
