Sometimes a few weeks is enough to see the result of a change. [/quote]</p> <p>Given the context of this thread, I am sticking with my story. Having said that, you are correct that a trend can be detected for some activities in a much shorter time frame. I was a commercial pilot with instrument, multi-engine, and all instructor (air and ground) ratings for years. If the airspeed starts to bleed off, i.e. approaching a stall condition, one does not need a year to understand the trend and potential consequences.</p>
