Out of interest, when did you last have a mandatory oral check of knowledge? Every RAF ME pilot has to have them - usually every 12 months but for those with higher assessments every 18 months and for some of us (very few) every 24 - no matter how many hours or years you have! We test 'relevant' knowledge, not 'what colour the LRG light is' or 'what is the correct series of lights for a tethered balloon to display on the ground at night'!!!
Ruby. 2 flashing reds and 1 flashing green in a 25m equilateral triangle with the green downwind, by the way!!
