Why is the question even asked on RAS? Should information such as
this not be included in the flight training manuals a pilot reads

I respectfully disagree Tom. A good CFI never discourages discussion,
especially when those discussions involve important safety questions.
There are no dumb questions, there are only opportunities to teach.

My shelf is stocked with aviation books, and I've read them all. But my
brain is human and therefore fallible. (Example: My spell checker just
caught my misspelling of "fallible") Should I avoid posting here for
fear of being reprimanded for raising a question?
