"Rolling" to ATC

Actually, instructors are in fact sky gods.They are all knowing and all telling pillars of the aviation community.They are men among men (even the females).All kidding aside, you would expect a person to have a certain level of knowlege for a certain level of ratings. Maybe. But people can forget, and they can also know exactly what's required to pass the tests, and nothing more. I don't know if it is the real person or not; I'm just pointing out the possibilities, and the fact that one cannot be certain of anything on USENET. Good point.And this is exactly MY point.If AS disagrees with someone, he could stand to be a bit civil. Also, the guy shouldnt debate topics he does not have a grasp of. Kind of like what you did a few threads ago. I always have a grasp of the topics I debate, although I may not necessarily be an expert. When I don't know, I ask questions. However, I don't accept answers at face value, since experience has taught me the danger of this, and sometimes people get upset when they answer and their answers are not treated as gospel. Incongruent?I dont know what that means.Dont use big words with me. Incongruent with reality means that it doesn't match up with reality. Or in this case he is calling other peoples credentals into question. Thats an opinion I could do without. Credentials are often so useless for establishing a person's qualifications that I don't think that questioning them really makes much difference. Anyone willfully naive enough or lazy enough to rely on credentials alone when looking for authoritative sources will pretty much get what he deserves. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Good point.In an effort to respect the guy's privacy I havent looked it up anways. I had to provide my personal information to look it up, so getting his personal information was a fairly even trade. Of course, I wouldn't republish the information outside of the database (if others want to know, they can provide their personal information to get it, too). I suppose the FAA might keep a log of people who make queries on their database, looking up pilots' certifications, but I have no quarrel with that, given what the database contains. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Nope he speaks for me as well, we conversed beforehand, so"us" is correct.

I read what you posted to Alice, and you really owe her an apology.You claimed that anyone who disagreed with you needed to "Go back to the basics".Do you treat your students like this? You are right. I do owe an apology to alice for saying that she "had to go back to the basics". Stuff happens, and discussions do sometimes get out of control. I was defending John Denker's book, not myself. However, my comment was uncalled for. So here is my sincere apology for that statement. Most of us in this group don't come here because we have too much spare time. I am here only because I learn something new from these discussions. In that spirit, I am still eager to find out what is so wrong with Denker's book. The comments that ' the book is free only because no one would pay for it' is a serious defamation of a professional author who has been generous with his work. I don't need an apology for it because it is not my book. However, if there is indeed a serious flaw, it would be beneficial for all of us to know the specifics. You too felt the need to make broad accusations that 'several of my basic concepts were completely backwards' and that 'I can't possibly be a CFI much less a pilot'. Those are very broad and nonspecific that I can't defend them nor use them in any constructive manner. Yes, I am a real pilot, flight instructor and an enthusiast, Come on dude, I have read some of your other posts and you have several basic concepts completely backwards.There is no way you are a CFI much less a rated pilot.Like I said before, there is nothing wrong with a non flying enthusiast on this list.Just be honest.
