CFI oral intel
gatt wrote:
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?" Another was, "You're turning final and you enter a cross-control stall. Is it better to be in a slip, or a skid?" I'm wondering what the significance of posting this question is. Is it because everyone should know the answer or because on some level it is nonsensical? BTW, my instructor covered the issue in-depth in my pre-solo test. The gist of the discussion being that a spin will develop much quicker in a skid since the lower wing will drop, as opposed to a slip, where the high wing has to drop, giving you more time to recognize and break the stall. |
