[Rhodes22-list] Mark more on Planes v Buildings

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

I read that the instructor had not done the five hours of training that the manufacturer says it "requires" of instructors (not sure how a manufacturer can require any such thing, but maybe the instructor can't list that particular plane in his credentials without such training?).

Captain Rummy:

      You said, "70 hours behind the stick of an airplane gives you a lot of
experience".  I completely disagree.  Especially if you are involed in a
crash.  It usually takes about 35 to 40 just to get a basic ticket.  Another
35 hours was probably casual flying, not tight spot stall recovery.  That is
why the Yankees required the instuctor pilot.  Again, my question is did the
instructor have recent experience in this model aircraft, especially
recovery?
        But I am waiting for the CFII to comment.
