The posts you made concerning pulling mixture on take off involved a

does this REGARDLESS of the runway remaining.
The fact that you are actually defending this idiotic and incompetent
procedure is all I need to support my initial judgment of you as a
CFI.
Your feeble attempts at portraying me in the light of a "know it all"
and a "blow hard" would seem to fly in the face of what I see from
others (Ken Tucker excepted of course) concerning your judgment on
this
matter as well.
In other words, it appears that you have a judgment
problem...something
not desirable in a CFI.

Did you not read the 5 paragraph post that you just quoted? Obviously
you didn't as you continue to say I pulled the mixture. It wasn't the
mixture, it was the fuel valve!
In my post I addressed my reasoning for coming to the stance I take on
this issue. I do not necessarily "support" doing that particular
maneuver.
What I do support the idea that things like pulling the fuel
valve (or anything else for that matter) CAN be done safely as long as
the proper precautions are made.
Wow, what a load of crap, but what would one expect from someone known
as
buttman?


Since you're not willing to follow
along, it only proves that you are indeed nothing but a blowhard who
is full of himself.
The thread I made over a year ago was intended to solicit the help of
this group in preparing myself for something I thought my students
could benefit from. The only thing people wanted to do was act self-
righteous, which is exactly what you're continuing to do right now.
HHHUUURRR


wow they're really coming out of the wooodwork this afrernoon.
Yes. Isn't it amazing how many disagree with you and/or believe you are
wrong......and isn't it amazing how you can't seem to be able to entertain
the idea that there are people on this forum who know more than you do.
So far I see not one supporter for your idiotic assertions.
Good God man, get out of the CFI business before you kill some innocent
student.

If' this is the kind of CFI that's teaching today's young pilots, then maybe
it's time to take the prop off my Tiger and hang it in my office


Fortunately, this guy is an odyssey. In 50 years being exposed to CFI's


of all makes and models, this idiot stands out as unique. I've never
come across an instructor who not only does what this guy claims to do
with students, but who when told it's wrong, attacks the pilots
correcting him.
Pilots like this guy are an accident waiting to happen. I only hope it
doesn't happen to him.
The positive side is that what usually happens with people like this is
that after they shoot off their mouth on Usenet telling off the pilots
who disagree with them, they usually sulk on back to the hangar and
never do again what they were taken out to the shed for.
If this is the result, I'm thoroughly satisfied.

This is like talking to a brick wall. I've said it a million times, I
do not agree that is is necessarily "safe" to pull the engine on
takeoff.

My argument was that is can be safe if the proper precautions were to
be made.

Also, I know you're going to find some way to wriggle out of this one,
but were you ever an MEI? Did you not do engine cuts on take off? If
you did, how did you exactly do them? How do you suggest they should
be done? Because engine cuts on takeoff are part of the PTS. Do you
not follow the PTS?

And don't try to tell me engine cuts in a twin are "safe" because one
thing can lead to another and the plane can get below Vmc.

I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, I am genuinely curious how
you can be perfectly OK with doing it in a twin, but go off the handle
when suggesting doing it in a single.
