Different approach. You, as a military pilot (as I think to have understood), believe in the behavioristic approach. Me, as a scientist (and amateur pilot) follow the cognitive approach. Your approach yields pilots who exactly know what to do in this or that situation, but probably without really understanding the deeper reasons. Well...I could say that your comment above is a deep personal insult (which it is BTW :-) but in this case I will respect the fact that you simply don't know anything at all about me since you have assumed I am a military pilot which as half the world knows couldn't be further from the truth. I am in fact simply a civilian pilot who has flown military airplanes. It's as simple as that really....oh yes...there is one more thing....I've spent about 50 odd years directly involved with the flight training community as both a CFI and an adviser and consultant at levels ranging from primary training to teaching people to fly the highest performance airplanes in the world. If you surmise that the people I have taught to spin airplanes "probably don't understand the deeper reasons" involved that YOU as a scientist can provide, or that the pilots I have trained don't know thoroughly the complete aerodynamics involved with spins, I fear you are in for a deep disappointment :-)) We just present these things when it is correct to present them and not when another explanation is the right explanation :-) -- Dudley Henriques |
