Saving the accidents for later
It's not just the private pilots who are going to have a good layer of rust when the lockdown is over, but also their instructors.
We don't generally have simulators, we are all going to need a refresher, so who is going to kick start some flying? I'm not talking about three landings and off we go, so we can carry passengers, I'm thinking of the pilots and clubs who more or less shut up shop over the winter.
i managed three flights in three different aircraft (one of them an autogyro) between the runway being dry enough to use and being shut up at home, a single week. That makes me one of the most recent pilots in our club.
Not only, that, but it's the town hall staff that cut the grass. Has it been done recently? I doubt it, and it was quite long enough at the beginning of March.
Interesting times, indeed.
