...the book is aimed at slightly nervous PPLs who rarely venture beyond the circuit or county. I don't think you'll find many of those type of pilots here on Proon
This was me a couple of years ago (5 years after qualifying and allowing my PPL to lapse briefly) and I remember seeing the book in the Tran$air catalogue and considering it. Then I discovered PPRuNe and it had the same effect that the book might have done. I now fly further, better and safer (imho) AND have more fun doing it. PLUS a book would not have given me a few new mates or got me drunk a couple of times.
Thank you all!
