Default Re: Geesh I hate this

On the Edge, Heydick.....we all learn different things at different times as we go along, just as you mentioned what you do as to putting the plane in an awkward position and then for them to recover, that is another thing that i do also, so I see I am not alone as to different things in teaching. Yes, whether it be right or wrong, its all a part of the teaching to put a student into an awkward situation and to have them learn how to recover while you are right there with them just in case, without this, you solo them and off they go, they end up in a situation like this and dont know what to do because they have never experienced it before. Flight sims, yes, they are a good teaching tool, and one can learn a lot from working with them, but they still dont have the real feel that the real plane is going to have and the characteristics that the real thing is going to have, its still a lil different, but the sim does give you a general idea though.

Keep up the hard work, work with your instructors, and we wish you all the best. Keep us posted in your progress.
