Sorry, this is incorrect. It's instruction 101 for the instructor to evaluate and ascertain the personality of the student as the student's personality will interface with their flying. If this is done correctly, the student's "personality" is molded and/or changed as necessary to develop into what is needed to have the student do exactly as you have said they need to do after leaving the instructor; continuing the learning process. That process exists for the "pilot" all through their careers in aviation. On the other hand, if the instructor fails to instill whatever "personality" change is needed during the time of exposure with the student, the student will become the "driver" we are discussing. Either way, the responsibility lies with the instructor. The student is the workpiece the instructor must complete. If that were really true, then every student of a good instructor would become a good pilot. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. I have all sorts of students. Some continue to improve even after I've taught them, entirely on their own. Others fossilize moments after the class finishes, and they never get any better. It's a question of personality (and motivation), and even the best instructors get the same results. Someone who just wants to be an airline pilot for the money, for example, isn't going to care about anything beyond the minimum he needs to learn to get into that position. Someone who just loves to fly may improve a little on every single flight, even though he might never feel inclined to work for an airline. |

Then Usenet is your best bet. Many people find it difficult to have their input moderated. You are simply expressing a preference to which you are entitled. Most people tolerate moderation very poorly, but they love to see other people with whom they disagree being silenced. Many people will choose a venue in which they know that the allowed opinions match their own; that way anyone who disagrees with them will be "moderated," and those who agree with them will be left unmolested. The problem is that many discussion venues stagnate, since nobody is willing to discuss anything on which there might be a difference of opinion. The only things people will discuss are the things about which they all agree already. It gets pretty boring after a while. |

Remember, you aren't picking this person, I AM!! :-) You won't have any idea what the reaction will be when you speak. The implication is pretty clear. In reality, a lot of people are wise enough to not get into any type of physical altercation, so you can almost say anything you want with impunity. But many males can be goaded into physical violence with words alone, if the words are well chosen. And some jump immediately into violence with any words at all. Women are more level-headed, as a rule. Happens every day my friend, and people get away with it every day. Many men are too macho to file a complaint. Also, when the police are involved, often both parties go to jail, at least briefly. If guilt can be determined, one might go away for several years. Are you telling me you are willing to bet that I couldn't pick someone from this forum to stand in front of you while you tell them they don't have the guts to slam you in the chops? Why would that be difficult? Hardly. Simply an everyday example of possible consequences vs your "right" to speak. With men, the "everyday examples" almost universally involve violence. This is not a coincidence. |

You're right. We can't have aviation talk on this forum. Something will have to be done :-)) That "personality change" is nothing more than the instilling in a student of the proper habit patterns necessary to develop further into an "attitude" about flying that will be conducive to the continuing learning curve that must exist in a "pilot", but can be found to be missing in an airplane "driver" as they say. The development of this state of mind in a pilot is the direct responsibility of the CFI and should be considered job one for the instructor. Ah - that makes sense. For a minute there I was afraid you were advocating that my CFI should nag me to become a more caring person, worry about _her_ needs for once, that I should enjoy gardening, pay more attention to what she is saying, and that sort of thing. ;-) (Okay - I DO pay attention to what she is saying. I was just telling her the other day right after we landed that she _doesn't_ nag me enough! She said she doesn't nag once it is clear a student knows what they should be doing. I'm quite the self-nagger.) |
