Now that touchdown autorotations are no longer required or even
demonstrated for CFI applicants, nor are FAA inspectors going to do them, is the general proficiency for autorotations going down the tubes by FAA mandate? I seeeee.......a new CFI isn't required to show any-ANY proficiency in a full on auto so they will be unable to teach something that has the FAA scared to death. How is that going to bode for new helicopter pilots? Hmmmmm? A new batch of helicopter pilots that are not able to do some of the most important and perhaps critical flight manuevers and yet are going to be hauling unwitting and unsuspecting passengers. Is there something wrong with this picture? Does it rank right in there with only demonstrating an approach to a spin without actually experiencing one and then go teach the same flawed philosophy? I can see lots of tailbooms being chopped off in the next couple years... Comments anyone? Rocky |
