we'll have to agree to disagree btw ae's instructor's name is neta snook not anita this article is about snook part of which is snook's 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 doesn't mean that the issue has gone away as long as there's aviation instructors reading this material the issue still has legs regardless of whether you think you've heard enough about it i know it's a delicate subject but the successful pilots are those who have never crashed a plane and never become lost snook's job was to train such pilots this article is still a delicate whitewash of one flight instructor's important mission and is totally unsatisfactory for just that reason
