MATS 3
I just meant that that is what the pilot should be doing - checking "brakes off".
I am inclined to agree that the "check wheels" ought to be considered OTT - although I suppose that there is an argument that with all the RTF chat involved, the driver might just obverlook the important bit!
Thanks for the explanation - could you not have sighted the aerial to "see" the touchdown point? It must have a useful minimum range with a fairly short PL, surely?
