The posts you made concerning pulling mixture on take off
involved a single engine airplane and a primary student. No
competent instructor 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 an mei and a check airman. Anyone who lets an airplane get below
VMC during training is a complete tit. And a short lived one.
Bertie
We lost an MEI and his student both at KILG in a Baron doing just
this.
Always hated doing takeoff cuts no matter which method, but I always
used the throttle in any case. My boss did not and we had one idiot who
liked to do feathered landings and crashed ( they walked away from it,
though)
We used to do V1 cuts in jets for training, but not anymore. It can be
hairy as hell in some airplanes and quite a few have rolled over and
crashed in training. So now, if we don't do a zero time thingie, we just
do three touch and goes for certifiaction, but even this is dying out.
