As far as demanding what I payed for...

Along with that, its a threat of being "that guy on Jim's list."
... I need an instructor there to give me some type of hope that I will be trained in things that I, as a pilot, should know, regardless if its absolete or not. Non of my instructors ever took their eyes off of the GPS, infact most of the emphasis was on it! That just doesn't do it for me.
Again, don't want to knock anybody, I will not list any names... I just want to be sure, I take my career very seriously and feel the need to dig around for explanations and hope to get HONEST help! I feel this is the best place to get advice since its coming from fellow class mates and perhaps people who feel the same as I do. |
I agree with you completely.
Who told you that demanding what you paid for "doesn't flow here?"???!!!!!!!!!!!!
If your view is that you should get your money's worth you certainly won't find me disagreeing with you!!!!!!!
In the last 4 or 5 months Jeppesen has been eliminating all the NDB approaches. All the NDB approaches are being deactivated if that makes you feel better.
But with all that sim time you should be able to shoot a couple NDBs if you desire.
If you have an instructor that refuses to teach beyond the bare minimum for the checkride - the instructor is not worth the $44,000 you paid.
