Well done for returning to earth in one piece
I had a catastrophic failure just after crossing from Le Touqet and know exactly how you feel.
I have crossed since to Jersey and to Dinard but dont feel nearly as confident about it as I used.
It brings me again to the subject that I posted in another thread.
Here
I still cant get my head round certain issues with flying in IMC in a single engined aircraft with cloud below the highest terrain.
I hear pilots say "you must be mad crossing the channel in a sep without a liferaft" yet they are quite happy to fly over the sort of terrain in Scotland in thick IMC!!!
Which is worse?
Engine failure over water?
OR
Engine failure over mountains that are covered in cloud?
