This is the biggest FAIP drawback. An even bigger problem is when FAIPs start teaching to students things they've "heard" from MWS guys. When I was an IFF instructor, I could not believe some of the crap that T-38 FAIPs were teaching, all in the name of "this is how the fighter guys do it". Usually said technique was 3rd or 4th hand, and learned from another FAIP!

Also spot on.
