Maybe real or induced, we're rotating to lift off and my engine quits. That's fair, a number of accidents have been reported during the ascent phase. I think you're right that an aware pilot should have a safety net pre-thought-out going forward. Ken |

How an idiot like you EVER made it through the system as a CFI is beyond belief to me. Listen up once and for all before you kill someone. NO competent instructor EVER....and I repeat it once more so even a moron like you can understand it...EVER, starves an engine on takeoff with a student. I don't give a GD if you use the mixture or the fuel valve, either way you're deliberately causing a potentially dangerous situation. Are you getting it yet? Fuel Valve or Mixture, you are STARVING the engine. It's the same result safety wise. YOU JUST DON'T DO THIS WITH A STUDENT PILOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Dudley Henriques |

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. -- Dudley Henriques |

Way back (1981) when I was an NCO working on various items used as props in Dr Strangelove, we had guys riding mowers all over the storage igloos cutting the grass. The problem was, all maintenance had to cease since while they had clearances, they weren't cleared high enough to see inside while we did our thing. The Air Force had a suggestion program (you could earn up to $200 bucks if they accepted the suggestion and implemented it). My suggestion was that the Air Force replace the mower guys with sheep. The benefits would be that the sheep would provide wool for us to use to get through those cold Northern Tier winters, the sheep would not require security clearances, and the sheep would be non-polluting. I expected it to go as far as the Squadron CO, get a talking-to, and that would be it. Three months later a letter arrived from the Department of the Air Force, The Pentagon. After researching the suggestion, they determined that the only reason they could not implement the sheep-as-mowers idea was that if the storage areas were attacked, the attackers could hide behind the sheep. Otherwise, they determined it was a "plausible concept, simply infeasible given the security concerns." After the mirth subsided, I read through the levels involved in making this determination. We figured that piece of paper cost the Air Force about 1/2 a million bucks in manpower. It was a lesson on how far a stupid idea will go trhough a bureacracy.. Dan. |
