Can you land to a spot within 100' of the designated spot without

training until you can. What happened to the old time spot landing
contests that were taking place regularly on weekends?
It appears that Pilot Proficiency has gone down the tubes in favor of
technology.

Where is this coming from? Is this what this group has degraded to?
All we get is spam, MX, and posts about hypothetical situations. Am I
the only one here still flying a real airplane?

Get over yourself! Lets regale everyone about flying 20' over the
water and 200' in a J-3. What does that have to do with improving
anything here? What is your definition of a "real airplane"? You just
having a bad day?

It just seems ashame. We used to have students post problems and we
would offer them solutions. Now you're posting a solution that is
looking for a problem. 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.

It's because a very small group of closed mind control freaks (most over the
hill and without a life), insist on controlling every aspect of this group.
And since they all firmly believe they know all the answers, there is very
little left to talk about, except how great they are.

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.

What the devil IS your problem? 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.

Rocky likes to float these little teasers out here for people to play
with. 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 :-)))

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.
