Hi there, my name is Marcos and I am a FI. I want to say that I really enjoyed reading your review about flying. But I'm not writing to congratulate you, just to clarify that there are more things involved when I teach my students how to fly... Think about how scared you were on your first approach??? It's true and old RAF pilots will teach to fly in such a manner that if your engine fails your chances of "making it" are the best for you and your pax. And at least me, if that is what I teach my conscious would be ok. Have you been during your training short on final, very high, short on speed or too fast and your instructor had to take control ???? Well , that's what is about, better with me than on your own.Learn to fail or fail to learn. I felt a bit offended(joking), there is more behind that what you think, at least in my case. Also your approach at 100 fpm to make it more comfortable is good only if there is no terrain ( u come flatter), being honest with you a 70...
