I am sorry but.......

This is like beating your kids. Beat them and they won;t do the same thing again. You are supposed to be learning to act as PIC. This involves learning from istakes, and the reasons behind that.

Reacting to unpleasant behavior from your instructor doesn't teachyou anything except trying not to anger your instructor for fear of that kind of outburst.

Learning involves seeing the big picture and knwing the material in depth. That comes from patient, and thorough instruction. Not yelling like an idiot. An instructor like that teachs only fear and anxiety. I would end the ride real quit if anyone treated me that way. Espescially If I am paying that @#$%&@#$%&@#$%&@#$%&@#$%&@#$%&@#$%&.
