Well, thats the plan!! I fly for a living and have thousands of hours....but just not in Heli's. It does mean though, as I say, I don't have anything to prove and I don't suffer from "Get-home-itis" and am not susceptible to operational pressures from outside influences. I've done plenty of daft sh** in aircraft over the years....when I was younger and did have something to prove. I look back on it and think "Wow...just....wow!". DOnt feel any need to do silly things anymore. When it comes to Helicopters, I recognise that 'm a beginner....my only real advantage is that I am used to being in the air and have decent situational awareness. Add a sparkling of good weather and a healthy dose of recognising my inexperience and I am hoping I can build my experience at a steady pace and not get overconfident. Thanks for the reply
