The Differences Between PPLicensing And Learning
On Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:07:02 -0700 (PDT), Michael wrote:
One of the ways I am pursuing this is an highly active academic one, it would premise that the more one knows the better decisions can be made as to what needs learning. This is a pretty decent assumption in an academic environment, largely because of the peer review process. Stuff generally gets peer reviewed both before publication (formally) and after (informally), and the trash doesn't stick around. There is precious little peer review in general aviation. There simply are not good books about how to effectively use a light aircraft as reliable transportation. The vast majority of training material is focused on commercial aviation, military aviation, or passing exams. What little is left is generally not peer reviewed in any way, is often wildly inaccurate, and basically has all the problems of usenet - other than spam, poor grammar/spelling/style, and personal attacks. On the other hand, it is often out of date - see above. Thx for that, Michael. -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! |

After getting a PPL and flying for a couple of years, I can see why Dudley is correct. Those habit patterns you learn early in your flying training WILL save your life, I guarantee it. Flying is like life, you are always learning how to do it while never truly mastering it. Sorta Catch 22, Cruel Shoe scenario. When you are least able to select your CFI and leaning environment..... -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! |

wrote: I won't and the offer is much appreciated, Dudley. Two things back for you: One, your reputation precedes you, more than one emailer has told me you are open to off Usenet advice. Two, I understand (somewhat) your frustrations with Usenet, keep reminding yourself that the best you have to give you may have already given. The archives are, imo, as good, in ways better, tools of goodwill. You have several lifetimes already compiled there and if you drop your pants a little lower, I'll kiss the bottom of your butt too. OHHHHMMYYYYGAWD No! That's more than I really needed to hear. I have a strong constutition and a very high pain threshold, but the thought of that is almost more than I can bare..er bear...aw, never mind.
