    For the Pilots....Nervous Instructor?

    Base to final are typically the #1 place to stall/spin into the ground.. several instructors have died the past few months in Colorado..

     

    basically its a "well qualified" flight instructor (some are crap.. but they have the "hours") teaching a kid how to fly.

     

    They literally put their lifes on end everyday when the fly with young students.. the instructor simply cant trust the student right off with such low hours and almost no experience.

     

    Ive seen soo many students hit the nose wheel on landings.. or literally fly the airplane into the ground for a landing.. not a smooth flair and land on the rear wheels (tri gear).. all wheels at once and a big bounce.

     

    Im studying for my CFI now... and to be honest.. there's alot of student I wouldnt want to fly with.. alot of so called "certificated pilots" fly like crap.

     

    Dont freak out.. he is just doing whats best... just takes experience and practice. I agree he is a bit on edge.

     

    my CFII flew with a student the other day doing a touch and go w retractable gear.. once he touched down instead of putting flaps up.. he put the gear up. Once the lever is up its too late. my instructor couldnt save it. 2,500 hrs and no accident.. then boom. not good
