Well worth the practice. I guess we all get too complainant.

A few years back I was talking to an ex-RAF instructor who told a great story about 2 engine problems within a week.

The first happened to a student who had recently completed his 50 hour Ab initio and the second to an experienced RAF pilot. Can't remember type.

The 50 hour guy landed in a field no probs as he was well versed in PFL's and was on form. The experienced guy got his wings and rings from St Pete at the pearly gates.

I'm flying this week and will put some practice in.

Big thanks for the reminder.

Sorry to divert off track there!
