    Cessna 172 engine out while on the ground.

    Not all are created equal... I'm not a CFI yet, but at 300 hours I was flying a J5 across the country in July. I hope I'm better after every flight. I've had CFI's with less hours than me that still taught me a thing or two and were good instructors. And I've had the opposite too. That is...

    Cessna 172 engine out while on the ground.

    Give me a break... really? The number of hours dont make a pilot any better or worse of an instructor. Are you a flight instructor? i sure didnt come out of the womb with a few thousand hours, thats for sure.

    Spin Recovery Training?

    I beg to differ on that. enough pro inputs and it sure will. A spin from an accelerated stall is a real hoot in one too!

    Requirements to be a ferry pilot?

    Agreed, most of my time is tailwheel, and they've all been similar airplanes, champs, cubs, J5, flybaby.
