Aviation Forum / General / Learning / September 2008

A lot of people who seriously desire to fly but cant, probably for
psychological reasons try to mix it with pilots and impress us with
the technical language of aviation. Often they can never work out why
they fail.

Thanks for your responses for my previous posting on Instructors.
Here is another question for CFIs.
Who is your “near ideal student"?  What qualifications do you expect
from them?

What is the best qualification you expect from an instructor.
This is my order of preference based on my expensive experience.
Never go for a instructor who has less experienced even though they
cost less.( this will cost lot more than experienced instructor. My

My instructor told me that some people how hard they try how much time
and money they spent they can't be pilots. Is that true?  I don't
believe that.
CFI's please commet...

Here is the procedure to get excellent landing. I discovered it  after
doing 296 landings.
It works. Just works for perfect Landing-- no wind factor.
Set the wheel for takeoff. Full power.  Rotate at 55 to 60kts.

Q  if i am standig on the ground   and someone flys  with cessna c 172  from
what maximum  hight  can the callsign
be read on the side off this airplaine ?

Do you know how to read one? Have you spent any time studying the
legend on the face of the chart and the backside too? Have you ever
looked at all the margin information? If not you are shorting yourself
of a lot of information.

Landing like this would be challenging even in a Piper or Cessna. I
would personally love to be able to land an airliner like this one
day!
