The most dangerous weapon in a flight instructor’s arsenal…

…Is the index card!

Bob likes to use these to cover my airspeed indicator at random*. He also uses them to note down any little “points”** he wants to discuss during our debrief. Any time I see the pen going towards the card I groan a little inside.

I, of course, get my own back by flying perfectly despite the fact he’s covering up my instruments! Seriously, last time he pulled the card back on short final, the ASI showed a perfect 65knots!

Keeps me on my toes (and keeps my toes off the brakes!)

 *RTH’s instructor’s weapon of choice was the Post-it note!

** For “points” read “screw ups”
