We have one second-hand report of an instructor like this.
No, we have the latest report of an instructor like this. Over the
years, I've noticed that they pop up with great regularity. In fact,
I remember contributing one myself a bit over a decade ago.
Every other instructor who posts here disagreed with him.
Thank heaven for small favors. But the instructors here are hardly
representative of the instructor population as a whole.
Yet you think this single
instructor represents the "rule" rather than the "exception."
My experience indicates to me that this is indeed the case. Using
some highly sophisticated tools (lawnchair and cold beverage) I have
been able to observe the speeds flown on final many times, and at many
airports. The vast majority are flying final too fast.
