I’m in now....the site in question was having a technical glitch.

Regarding the accident in the report... The answer is always fly the aircraft.

But as the saying goes, “When you’re up to your ar£e in alligators, it’s important to remember you’re actually there to drain the swamp”.

Thankfully, being married, I’ve had years of practice in avoiding distractions. My wife often chats away nineteen to the dozen when she’s my car passenger. She expects answers in great detail. Not only that, she reads a newspaper which she spreads out across the handbrake and gear lever. In years gone by I might have politely asked her to move it. These days I just grab it out of my way and say “OI!” She fumbles then drops her phone on the dashboard whilst talking very loudly to her mother. At critical times, such as joining busy traffic on the motorway she suddenly exclaims things in a panicked voice such as “Oh, NO! Did I leave the hair straighteners switched on?” Etc.

I mostly just ignore her. Great training.
