Is My Trainer Plane Too fast?</div><hr size="1" style="background-color: #a7a7a7; color: #a7a7a7" /><!con and ti><!s><div id="post_message_17950478">I've just started my flight training with a local club instructor. My nitro 60" high wing trainer with seems to fly faster than I can keep up with and the instructor insists on flying at close to full speed, he says if we slow it down it will take me twice as long to learn. I'm getting frustrated because of this. Is this the normal/usual way it is done?
Thank you.</div>
He may be a great pilot but instructional technique requires you adjust your teaching to a level comfortable to the student..
He needs to listen to you for feedback as much as you need to listen to him for advice... seems like he is not doing it..
Either approach him as a mature man and request he instruct you at your pace..
Why is he rushing you to learn faster? Learn at your pace.. if it takes twice as long it does not matter... at least you will enjoy the process..
if he doesn't listen, find a new instructor..
