Letting 2 grown men fight like 9 year old girls on an aviation thread. (bring it on!)

You're right. I can hear the crowd now...Jer-ry, Jer-ry, Jer-ry!

I edited all my post on this thread and would like to make amends with Dr. Phil and Doogie Houser :beer: . No hard feelings, even from this tight wad!


eP.

 

[say again]

Not having the balls to tell the student he sucks.....

HAHA!!! And you would figure the student would realize that after 200 hrs, and he hasn't soloed yet.

ePilot22- I'll be Dr. Phil. It's over. No hard feelings on this side!!!! I'll do the same.:beer:

Ya know, letting the student tie down by themselves is essentially part of the PTS. We CFI's don't always sit in the plane with them while they fumble through some maneuvers during solo flight, do we? Bottom line, pre-flight and post-flight is something that is tested upon, believe it or not, so why shouldn't the student have to do it a few times alone when the instructor is there to fly with them? It makes things go a lot smoother when they are prepping to go solo by themselves.

Yes, professionalism is a necessary part of being a flight instructor, but I have no problem ASKING a student if he/she would like to tie-down by themselves so I can start their paperwork and sign their logbook, etc. , so I can brief them and be on time for the next student.
