It is kind of a weird culture. There is one school in particular that wants students to be able to state word for word the type of construction of the tail cone. That seems excessive in my book. I want my students to know the principals of flight, the important details of the aircraft they fly. Do I care if they can tell the tail is a monocoque structure in which the aluminum skins carry most of the loads? It does not affect their abilities of handling the aircraft in flight. As time goes on I think they should have more of an indepth knowledge of the aircraft but that comes with experience and time in the seat.
