From: Perpetually circling OCK for some reason
I fly raw data probably 2-3 times a week if conditions and colleagues allow. I’m not a sky god by any means, solidly middle of the road line pilot, but on a lovely morning with low workload/energy under control and manageable winds am I the only one who enjoys either a raw data or, god forbid, a visual? Yes it’s not really much of a test of one’s skill, nor should it be but it’s enjoyable and satisfying isn’t it?

If my colleague doesn’t feel like it for reasons of tiredness, experience or simply doesn’t feel like working harder than necessary I would never force them or even try and persuade them - but I have flown with guys before who after a raw data ILS have turned to me and said “Hey I haven’t done that for a long time - that was great fun, thank you.” with a big grin on their face.
