I just came from my flying club's office where I scheduled a plane for
tomorrow (Sunday).
Both of the club's 182 are down for inspections and maintenance after
hard landings. Two weeks ago, the club's Katana went down for the same
reason. Three airplanes in two weeks!!!
What are flight instructors allowing to pass for landings before
signing students off for solo and PPL's for checkouts!!!
If they are not holding the nosewheel off, they are going to break it
off or bend the firewall!!!
This is where tailwheel training comes in.
It's about time the Feds require that all students must spend the first
20 hours of their training in taildraggers. It's the only way they are
going to learn propper control input on landings.


Oh horse ****!!! I have very little tail-wheel time but you can bet
your butt I know how to apply the proper control inputs...and I knew how
long before flying a tail-dragger!!

What a bunch of crap.

You may want to look at whoever signs off renters at your club. Sounds like he
or she has a special skill in selecting people,huh? I don't think the renters
all 747 pilots in real life, trying to touch down when their butss are 40 feet
from the runway.
