1) Flying into cloud
Ah, well, on my second test (after several years off flying), which was a fairly relaxed affair, I was looking for a gap in the cloud through which to go high enough for the stalling and stuff, spotted a gap, and started working my way round some low cloud towards it. "That'll take ages," said the examiner, "just go straight there". So I did, through the cloud (
and logged that minute or two as P1/S even though I couldn't legally fly through the cloud P1).
