When you first asked the question, the "instructor" was nowhere in sight
(unless you are presumed to be the instructor). So let's not call the
missing instructor the idiot here. If you're not sure if you know how to
fly a plane, then you clearly DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLY THE PLANE.
If you aren't sure if you know how to fly the plane and you insist on
attempting to fly it anyway, then you are the only idiot.
