Are you a flight instructor who has cringed at the thought of climbing into a Cessna 172 and conducting a flight review with an airline pilot? Is the reaction a result of the intimidation factor, believing he or she has thousands of hours of experience flying airplanes that surpasses your experience? Or do you have a preconceived notion that their attitude has an air of arrogance or superiority?
Would you believe that many airline pilots harbor trepidations about operating in the GA environment and have a great deal of respect for good flight instructors? Many of the worries or concerns stem from the fact that airline pilots have been away from the small airplane world long enough to have forgotten the basics or have been absent for years of changes.
