On the contrary, I find him an interesting and colourful commentator contributing unique perspectives amongst a pool of others. Whether he gets it perfectly right or wrong in the end, his views stimulate valuable debate on important safety topics within general aviation, which can only be a good thing.perossichi wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 2:08 pm
I can’t stand Dan Gryder. He is a jacka$$. His videos are devoid of content and full of promises that are never fulfilled and teasers. His big idea is to establish some kind of min speed to avoid stall spins. This reveals a basic lack of understanding of flying and the flight envelope.
As for his idea of a General Aviation AQP (Advanced Qualification Program) which includes 'DMMS' (Defined Minimum Manoeuvring Speed), he is endorsed in this by several notable aviation YouTube commentators including Scott Perdue (Flywire), Juan Brown (Blancolirio) and others.
Myself being new to GA, I've found Dan's analyses and the subsequent debates very stimulating, and I'm old and wise enough to sift the narratives and form my own impressions, but free speech in this context is valuable.
