I just think its a sad commentary on this group that we have to find problems for solutions because there isn't enough real aviation going on to stimulate discussion about actual student problems. -Robert, CFII |

It's a totally viable teaching technique and I did it all through my tenure in aviation. You may prefer things done another way, but I would HARDLY call it spam, or insinuate that Rocky doesn't fly real airplanes. Now Mxemanix is another matter entirely :-))) Dudley Henriques ------------------------------------------- No it not. It's just Rocky's way of setting around singing "How Great I Art" because he doesn't have a life. You know, a lot like you. |

... Plopping does not count except for back country strips where it is needed.. Nor does the technique of dropping the Johnson Bar to the floor count.. Smooth roll on landings please.. Count in whose book? With just a small surplus of energy to enable a bit of float, combined with dumping the flaps at the right moment, one can hit a very precise point and get a smooth roll. It's simply a matter of managing energy and the plane's capabilities. Since the point of the exercise is to show off short field or off field landing skills, I say use whatever aerodynamic properties the aircraft has to your advantage. Your reasoning makes as much sense as telling a glider pilot they can't use their spoilers. Furthermore if you ever have a real dead stick landing, knowing how to use your flaps in such a situation is very handy indeed and could make the difference between a reusable aircraft or a smoking crater. |

No, we just firmly believe you don't know ANY of the answers, Okie, and you reinforce that belief with each of your posts. So you shouldn't confuse your limitless ignorance as arrogance on behalf of others. So what brings you back, Maxie? Did you finally figure out what your momma's password was? I bet that really ****ed you off when she changed it. |

This is absolutely normal procedure for ANY competent CFI. It's done all the time. I don't know what your problem is with this poster but he is doing nothing improper, either from the instructor, OR the forum point of view. Dudley Henriques |
