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.

+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.

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.

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.
