: Dick Collins recommends flying approaches fast ("the runways are usually long..") Thoughts? Dick Collins has been past editor of Flying as well as AOPA Pilot. He's been a GA fixture for years and I am in no position to gainsay his extensive experience (10,000 plus in GA airplanes). There is no specific POH guidance for IAPs. What specifically his Dick Collins written that is Controversial? Contriversial was probably not a good word choice. How about unorthodox. All I can remember from the article is that this Tom B did most of the series (And not very well ) and there were side bars by Collins about all of the corners he cuts while flying IFR. If you consider the fact that there could be some low time pilots reading the magazine, it is probably not a good idea to brag about how much stuff you can get away with. It has been awhile since I have done much teaching and as I recall, I never set out to teach people to cut corners. This is what I found to be unorthodox. The only other thing I can remember about the guy was a few less than accurate editorials. I understand Flying has a new guy in there now, but I would still take any of these " How To" piloting articles with some healthy sceptisism. BTW how are you aware of Collins backround and experience. Do you know him personally ? FB |
