Well have to agree to disagree BTW AEs instructors name is Neta Snook not Anita  This article is about Snook part of which is Snooks frustrations with trying to create safe pilots where there are none  Some editors are leaning in the direction of whitewashing some of the training issues and doing just that is contrary to traditional aviation training practices  The fact that some editors beat an argument to death doesnt mean that the issue has gone away  As long as theres aviation instructors reading this material the issue still has legs regardless of whether you think youve heard enough about it I know its a delicate subject but the successful pilots are those who have never crashed a plane and never become lost Snooks job was to train such pilots  This article is still a delicate whitewash of one flight instructors important mission and is totally unsatisfactory for just that reason
