No, Actually, he's not (unfortunately).


Well, he had to get the idea they were ground speeds somewhere. The
timing table is pretty much the only possible source.

His reasoning is that the faster we're moving across the ground,
the faster we'll move outside of the protected area, for example,
on the circling maneuver, and that to use the higher minimums
'just made good common sense'.

However, he's interpreting the rule using this 'common sense'
and claiming that this is what the rule implies.

He made it clear to me that he was talking about the approach category
minimums and not just the time from FAF to MAP (which, of course,
is based on ground speed).

This CFII is stupid. Once you start circling the winds change and will
become a headwind at some point.
