Or do we do it with a harsh what in hell was that all about? Who did you learn the most from and what was the drill? Of course there is a different perspective from a civilian learning to get over the fear of heights or unusual attitudes (as opposed to the normal of right side up on the highway) and a military student pilot who is going to be exposed to getting shot in the ass with a rocket out in the field when they go operational. What has been most effective for you? The teacher who spent time explaining what you were trying to learn and how it works, or the one who just demanded you do the syllabus? How much time did you have to spend one on one? Or did you even get that opportunity? Did you have to learn under pressure or did you have the luxury of a year or two to get to step one? Was it even important to you to get to step one or two? What was the motivation? Was it for personal satisfaction? Was it because of familial pressure? Lots of factors to consider that impact instructor effectiveness.and student learning. Should be interesting to discuss. Ol S&B CFII/RAM AIGI - Original CFI in 1967 I think you might be "leaning" a bit too far into the "touchy/feeley" description to express what you consider not your way of doing things there Rocky :-) If the hard approach including cussing in the cockpit works for you, so be it, but you'll have a REAL hard time convincing me that this is a good teaching technique. I can assure you I'm far from being a Pansy in the cockpit, and I cal state emphatically that cursing in the cockpit is NOT one of my teaching techniques. The proper use of praise and criticism are an integral part of ANY good accepted flight instruction technique. I've been teaching this way all through my career with no problems whatsoever. I also teach instructors to teach this way with no problems. We've all had one of these "cussing" CFI's at one time or another. If that's your cup of tea, by all means do it that way. In my opinion it's not necessary and not even advisable to teach this way, but that's just me. You asked for an opinion, this is mine. Sorry; no disrespect intended, but I'll tell you what I tell ALL instructors; if you're cussing at a student or even yelling at a student, it's not the student who has the problem :-)) -- Dudley Henriques- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Dudley Can you honestly say you have never ever said "What the fu*& is going on here?" or some variation of that theme? Of course if it is in every statement it degrades what is being said. I recall an instructor that could not say anything without profanity and that colored my approach and awareness of how much it detracts from effective instruction. OTOH, saying "Inshallah" on final is not always workable either? g I am a very up front person as you know after all these years. If I think profanity is called for to make a point, I'll use it. If it offends someone, that is to be confronted by us that are involved. Even then, after the fact we can discuss it but in the heat of the moment we may not have time to discuss the relative merits of profane outbursts like WTF are you doing? Or watch your f**8 altitude, or whatever. I love to use english at its ultimate but often find in the heat of the moment, profanity is much more effective and timely. You know how us Marines are.....
