Anyway, that’s UK aviation for you so I either get used to it or stress myself out!
... it's not just UK aviation... wait until you start doing navs!!! Then again, had beautiful wx today. Damn hot though... pretty bumpy towards the end of it.

Sunfish...
Just for the record, did the first navex today. About a 140 nm triangle. Trying to minimise the bits of paper, pencils, maps and erasers that I\'m juggling. Trying to get the right frequencies and make the right calls to radar, local and military controllers and so on. Recompute ETA, track groundspeed, SARtime, fuel and so on.

Oh - and fly the plane as well.

Going to go out and do some circuits tomorrow or Thursday to get used to the Warrior a bit better
Looks like you're a few weeks behind me... did the same thing not too long ago. Doncha just love juggling everything and keeping on something resembling proper altitude and heading...
It gets better after a while!! (then they start giving you diversions... )
