Yep, that kind will drag you down faster than a concrete block tied to the tail.

Circle turns to check for traffic:

So horrific, it deserves 4 pages of comments to trash flight instructors.

Taking off with a concrete block that could fall off and kill someone, let alone crash the airplane:

No biggie . One page on this site.

Like the first comment when AC missed taking out 3 jumbo jets by 50 feet or so by landing on a taxiway: "Nothing to see here".

LOL a circle turn on a ramp is much much worse.....

This site LOL

This happened to an Air Georgian caravan crew once but the concrete block fell off and was never found

Lucky no one was harmed (hopefully) .... I wonder if that crew received any sort of negligence related criminal/civil charges?

It was the 90s...nobody even knew it happened except the ones who found out over beers. No YouTube, no sms,....the tail end of the good ole days!

You should ignore them all nay sayers, and continue on.

Reminds me of the guys who spun around a turboprop on an icestrip. No damage, no talk about it....until along time later at a party. Then it got back to the boss. One needs to always be cautious when inebriated.
