The person who answers you might or might not be a pilot--you cannot trust what he says about that, and in any case it doesn't matter, as long as the answer is right (or if the answer is wrong). And so many pilots on these newsgroups have already been wrong, in a way blatant enough to be obvious even to me, that I wouldn't trust anything that anyone here says exclusively. I suppose if someone wanted to appear just as ill-informed as some real-world GA pilots, trying to get an idea of their mistakes might be a motivation for coming here. But stupidity and ignorance know no frontiers, so it wouldn't make anyone seem more like a US pilot. So clearly you can't believe anything you see here. Just go away. |

I, too, believe in consenus of opinion; especially that you are an aggravating troll. Since you have been around the Internet for a long time, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror. |

It's not so much the questions he asks, but the laziness he demonstrates in
not first trying to look it up himself. Then, of course, there are also his argumentative responses to those who actually have flown a real airplane. It's no wonder he can't find or hold a job. |
