Gawwwwd Gertrude! I hope I never do that! Whenever I do the checks I start at the beginning and if someone interrupts me as has happened) I go back at least two steps just in case.

TOday I'm off to do Navex number two. I'm flying the Warrior a bit rough, especially the landings. I think I've worked out why - its not a C150 and I have to fly a wider and longer circuit because its about 10-15 knots faster in cruise and base is 80 knots, not 75 and final is 70 knots, not 65. I kept wondering on the weekend why I was 100 feet to high all the time on landing - which resulted in some pretty awful landings.

Idiot me was using my favourite C150 aiming points! This is a bad habit even when flying a C150!
