Default CFI oral intel

One of the folks around the hangar took his CFI practical last week.

He
had his AGI so they threw out all of the Fundamentals of Instruction
stuff entirely during the oral.

A question the examiner asked him: "You're flying cross-country and
trimmed at 110 knots. You die, and the engine quits. At what airspeed
will the aircraft strike the ground?"



He's obviously looking at getting an answer that it will be the same
speed, but that's not correct. It probably wouldn;'t be far off it, but
the thrust line and any up or down thrust will play a big part in what
the airplane settles at after the engine dies.

Another was, "You're turning final and you enter a cross-control

stall.
Is it better to be in a slip, or a skid?"


If you're asking, Slip.
