... I'm known as much non-anti-Microsoft as they come, but with regard to Outlook Express as a newsreader, Larry's right on. It just plain s*cks. No. Your opinion is that it sucks. But thankfully, your opinion is not the written Gospel. It takes a real idiot to think that they are the absolute truth in what does or does not suck. I've used a half-dozen different newsreaders over the years. If OE really did suck, I guarantee you that I wouldn't be using it right now. You, and everyone else that dislikes OE, are free to their opinion. But don't expect to say something stupid like stating your opinion as an absolute truth without the idiocy of doing so being pointed out to you. Frankly, what I really don't understand is why someone that doesn't like OE would keep using it. At least you and Larry find alternatives that suit you better. Pete |

Dudley,
You have made my point. There is a POH for every plane. A pilot should read it when he has a question. He is supposed to always be learning. If he has found an answer then he should verify what he has found with a CFI if he feels it necessary. The question did NOT contain the necessary information to find a specific answer. What I quoted was quoted as an example of what can be found by reading the POH. The instructor obviously, if he is competent, which we must assume until proven otherwise could answer the question - what does that teach the pilot? The pilot has the ultimate responsibility for what he does. At some time he must cut the apron strings and act like a PIC. That obviously requires asking a more knowledgeable person if he cannot answer a question himself with a little work. Daniel P.S. I believe that almost all CFIs are competent. The ultimate goal is to generate a safe pilot who can fly himself. |

He is supposed to always be learning. Basic flying 101. If he has found an answer then he should verify what he has found with a CFI if he feels it necessary. One way to handle it that's for sure. He could also check any and all available sources of information as he should be doing; and this would include any good CFI; the result should be a path leading directly to the manufacturer's POH. My point was simply that your statement as worded assumed that the "average flight instructor" might not know enough to point the questioner in the direction of the POH; an assumption I totally disagree with. I have no problem at all with your basic premise that checks the POH. In fact that would be MY answer as well. Since I'm a flight instructor, and would have done that, your added "assumption" to your comment about CFI's not necessarily knowing enough to point a pilot to the POH I thought might need a bit of "adjustment" so to speak. :-) The question did NOT contain the necessary information to find a specific answer. Correct. What I quoted was quoted as an example of what can be found by reading the POH. Also correct. Just don't assume that the "average flight instructor" wouldn't know enough to point someone in the right direction. The instructor obviously, if he is competent, which we must assume until proven otherwise could answer the question - what does that teach the pilot? Don't assume anything in flying. It will kill you in short order! As for "teaching the pilot". It isn't a CFI "game". If a pilot has a question, you give him what you have and point him in the right direction to the answer. In this case it's the POH. Any informative source can do that. It's up to the pilot to make maximum use of all available sources and sort out the good from the bad. Again, my comment on your remark is directed only to your instructor reference being not as reliable as the manufacturer's POH. BOTH should be equally reliable in the context of this question; the POH for supplying the needed data and the instructor for supplying the path to the POH for obtaining that data. It's no big deal, but I like to keep the air nice and clean when it comes to statements about instructors. Your basic point about the POH was correct. In my opinion, your added reference about the "average instructor" I thought needed some additional clarification which we have done I believe.

You can't be serious as to not know the difference between a POH and an owners'
manual, can you? Jim Larry Dighera shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -On Sun, 10 Oct 2004 06:21:11 -0400, Cub Driver wrote in :: - - -There is a POH for every plane. - -If only this were true!
