They were teaching you the basics of piloting and aircraft opertion.

Yes, and Dave the Metro Captain didn't obey that simple rule!

They were not instructing you on a type rating on a transport category
aircraft. There is a big difference in technique and purpose.

Non sequitur.

You are still learning to read, you are not quite ready to critique
Hemingway.

Come back when you finish reading "Run Spot Run".

"Just parroting" what an instructor tells an ab initio student and
applying that to an entirely different circumstance in a very
different type of aircraft is a large error in judgement and that is
not just an opinion.

Did I mention I used to own a DC-3? LOL!

Actually, what I've learned from my flight instructor being with him over 40
hours a week for many years, has saved me in a couple of emergency
situations.

No, that's not what the website described. The trim was installed
incorrectly, opposite...so when you trim up you are going down and visa
versa.

The website states the - trim switches - were installed backwards.

Duh, can't you read what I just wrote above? You parroted what I said,
didn't you? hehee

They are rocker switches and mechanically fit either way, they are
installed so that thumb pressure on the forward is nose down and aft
is nose up. The indicator will read actual stab position ... it is a
flying stab, that is the whole thing moves, there are no tabs.

Yes, I know that and I made that known in my first reply. If you could
read, you would know that I was making it simple so that Oz could
understand, since his son has been flying a Warrior.

Ouch, that's quite a condemnation of a pilot who was faced with a
problem he probably never experienced before,and was not trained to
handle as it is not a common simulator exercise.

Excuse me? He was not qualified, and was test flying a Metro that had major
damage done to one of it's wings? Duh!
which you don't have the facts, so you are speculating. I'm going by what
facts were written of the website

Most of us transitioning
from light twins or Beech 18's spent quite a few hours a long way
behind the tailcone before we caught up with that airplane. Its
takeoff performance light was awesome even by jet standards.

Yes, I know. I've owned and few three Beech 18's.

snip a bunch of crap that has nothing to do what we are talking about

Way to go, Ozzy! I just googled him and he only has 16 posts...boy did I
get suckered in! lol

This was not a single engine Cessna.

Nope, the website said that it was a Metro, dufus.

These are not engineering test flights like you see
on the Wings Channel,

What's the "Wing Channel"? Never heard of it. Is that where you learned to
fly? LOL!

The pilot not flying, the captain in this case, has a lot of things to
do during the takeoff and intiail climb phase and watching the FO trim
is not one of them.

Excuse me? The captain was flying and was doing the trim.

Quoted from: http://www.billzilla.org/flying3.html

"Dave started to command a nose up trim, which is normal for a Metro just
after takeoff,"


LOL! Okay, conversation is over! Come back when you have enough reading
comprehension to at least understand what the storyline is all about.

You a slow learner too?

Love the way these threads can metamorphasize, from a 25ton boat operator's
license, to a pilot's (as in flyboy type pilot) qualifications.
