How about instructors who cannot recognize an actual sim malfunction and instead of writing it up so the sim tech can look at it, he insisted on doing manuvers that required a particular piece of broken equipment?
What exactly is the standard for no-flap landing? Depends on who you a ask!
How about instructors who was asking me why I was doing something that the QRH directed me to do and I had to explain it to him! If he was paying attention, he wouldn't be asking me why I was doing it!!
