I'm still smarting over sending one of these characters a fine, beautifully crafted flight test report that even my ETPS tutors might have given grudging appreciation of, and receiving a response saying "which website did you get these from". Hmmph.

Chaps, sorry to say this, but learning to write flight (or any other kind of technical) reports is a slow painful process requiring a lot of work on your part and excrutiating attention to detail. You can't take somebody else's and crib it, just doesn't work.

The posts here, in their combination of brevity and vagueness do not, I'm afraid, show the sort of analytical thinking that goes with proper report writing. You need, in my opinion, to start a lot further back with basic technical report writing grammar and structure. Then develop your skills in the direction you are aiming; with perseverance it might not take more than a year or so.
