Interesting... is the nosewheel strut generally designed to bear the impact of a full-stalled landing? Good grief. If it isn't we could always use your head in it's place. Bertie Bertie Fun to read your reposts and I'm delighted to see my OP generated so much discussion in an area that obviously has me concerned. The spins discussion has been beat over and over but still is as germane as ever. Again, I am distressed to see so many of todays CFI's who are not qualified to be teaching flying. They have the certificate and that doesn't mean schitt. Not when they are afraid to do spins since they have never done one??? It does not surprise me when students tell me they learn more from me in one hour than they have learned in 10 with other instructors. I'm really bothered by that since I don't think I am teaching anything unusual......OOOHHHH WAIT.. I understand !!! I AM TEACHING VALID FLYING SKILLS AND LETTING THE STUDENT DO ALL THE WORK. I also hear that....the instructor stays on the controls all the time to the point the student begs to get some stick time without overiding control pressure or input. Then I see the overconfident CFI who lets a student get sideways in a stiff XW (15-20kts) and damned near wreck an airplane to prove a point. Had to replace two tires that were down nearly to blowout with 4 ply showing...... Am I overly sensitive?? Cheers Another old gray haired fart |
