No probs
Shy! And could not agree more! Use the radio, follow whats happening around you, if in doubt, shout out and always look out for the hidden traps .... and work together. No-one is infallible (tho some are more accident-prone than others - so
Mrs H 'n' H tells me each time I goof up!).
ATC have "saved" me when I've got it wrong. And I've even "saved" ATC when they've set up something that just ain't gonna work!
Teamwork (at every level) is what keeps us all safe! Just a humble observation after 40 years in various fields of Aviation!
As I said, I'll step back - I've bored you all enough!!
