It was very punitive on a very petty level. You learned essentially nothing of value.

THe type of person that needs to head our taining department is M VanA. Learned more from him on one loft than the rest of my training events at 9e combined.
+1 on MvanA. Did my type ride with him in 2012. Great guy. Through but fair. No big ego, no self confidence issues that would make him wanna ride in a high horse, and will always make sure he can teach you something during ur ride, without belittling you.

I don't work at Endeavor but this is what a check ride should be. I think a lot of instructors forget the teaching aspect of it.

+2 on MvA. He did my type ride and fed ride back in 08. Exactly the kind of guy for the job. His debrief's were concise, informative and not the least bit condescending like some of the other guys in the northern Mississippi training club.

Training club, now that's funny!

There's is one great guy in the 200 training dept, and he drives a big blue smurf mobile!

I disagree, any jeopardy event should be strictly a checking event. There is plenty of time for learning in other events.

Pushing someone to find their limit so you can teach them something might seem like a good idea, however, it is completely unethical to do this.

I've read your "fix" several times and can't make out what you're trying to say.

Bingo. Well stated.

That being said, I always liked MVA's demeanor.

Have you ever flown single pilot?
