in response to the gentleman who issued a scathing attack on younger CFI’s
and accused me of being one myself who provided bad information
regarding pop up’s in the chicago area, i am not the instructor you are
referring to. i often use pop ups in chicago and show my students how
when necessary to use them. also i agree with you that an instructor
needs to have a wealth of
aviation knowledge and good teaching ability.  i am fortunate that i have
always had a good ablitity to communicate, and teach.  i agree that this
doesn’t come to everyone.  when i said a young instructor is often maybe
even better than a much older one it is on the basis of motivation and
love for the occupation.  i cannot count the number of students who i
have helped to finish a private cert. or intrument rating who have come
from "experienced" older instructors who have burned out on the job and
are no longer providing training of the kind of quality all CFI should
give.  thank you for your time,
