How to tell my instructor to increase glidespeed with headwind?

Correct the instructor if he is wrong. If this creates an obstacle to
attaining your own objectives, find another instructor.

You're kidding, right?

Obviously he's not. Mxsmanic has no qualms about "correcting" his
instructors even when they are already right. Clearly he would have no
problem correcting his instructor if he is wrong.

Yeah, the ****in' troll would just say, "Well, that's not how it works
in MSFS, so you are wrong"...

Yeah, but he's suggesting the OP go find a new instructor if correcting him
doesn't work.

So why does he refuse to do the same?

I see what you mean.

Where else would he go?

An actual student pilot has the actual option of hiring a different
instructor. Our resident ignoramus is unlikely to find a more responsive,
more enthusiastic group of people to stir up than he's found here.
Obviously, his advice only applies to someone who has available to him a
better instructor.

Besides, it should not be all that surprising that, given his inability to
integrate information offered here into his knowledge, he is also unable to
integrate advice of his own that he offers. Just because he says it, that
doesn't mean he believes it, nor does it mean that even if he did believe,
he is capable of following the advice.

It doesn't surprise me - after all it's impossible to fire an instructor
who doesn't charge you for his tutelage...

But then, the beatings he has taken from people calling him a troll (and
worse) would have certainly been enough punishment to seem like a cost.
It's been suggested that he try sim groups or even rec.aviation.student,
but he still refuses to go. Then again, for a guy who spends much of his
time in the alt.support.shyness group, he may have gotten so comfortable
with the regulars in this group, that it's easier for him to take the
beatings than it would be to try to engage new people on another forum.

One can never tell...

Please do not, DO NOT, suggest he come over and spend more time in
r.a.student (he already crossposts there.)

Sure as hell, some student pilot will believe his increadible bull**** and
go get themselves killed.

Of course numbnuts would proably tell him he didn't die correctly because
that's not how it happens in MSFS.

That is far less likely than a student pilot being killed by his
unquestioning acceptance of misinformation from a flight instructor
whom he has been told not to question.

It amazes me that students are being advised here to accept
misinformation and inaccuracy just for a piece of paper. However, it
does explain the misdeeds of some pilots. And it does resemble the
credentialism that afflicts society in general--a belief that the
paper is more important than what it putatively represents (because
restrictions address the paper, not the qualities it is supposed to
document).

Heh That's my long term goal: to fail to die correctly.
