Please accept my apologies,


No problem.

Just be careful about drawing broad conclusions about flying from too
little information from too shallow a database and you will be a much
better airplane driver as well as technical analyst. 8-)


I don't feel like what I said was drawing any conclusions but the basic
principle I was taught by my flight instuctors. They always said, "make
little corrections, and then see what happens...". It was repeated over and
over to me until I became an above average pilot. As an instructor, tell me
what my instructors told me that was wrong?

Years ago, while an instructor, I was also an APC, an accident
prevention counselor, and I remember a humbling conversation with an
FAA inspector who was a bit annoyed at my rapid conclusion that
someone or other had done something so foolish as to be beyond
comprehension and forgiveness.


I am never quick to judge a pilot for any mishaps! I don't know where you
came up with that conclusion. I was just parroting what I was taught and
why the pilot in question made a few errors in judgement, in my opinion.
