The OP has a damn good question, so telling him to "go read the POH'

OK, so HIS "read the POH" response was a tad harsh, but the overall
message remains a good one.

Be careful about how you treat new
comers to aviation.

You can point someone toward a basic reference in a manner that's
neither condescending or demeaning. G

So perhaps a more pleasant tone would be better?

Yes, you are right that my answer was not in a very pleasant tone.

Normally I'm the kind of person that tell people just read the book.
I'm not a CFI but I give training in other fields, one of the first
things I do is were to find and how to use manuals.

I was out of line here.
