I know I'm restoring a relic thread, but having just joined you all I feel that this is one subject that I must comment on!
US trained pilots are (generally) s**t!
navigation training appears to be:
1/turn on GPS
2/hit goto
3/match the numbers
Radio work seems to be:
1/bloke in the tower is your best buddy
2/talk to him as if he is
3/speak really really fast
4/he knows where you are.....you don't need to tell him!
landings?????
more like arrivals!!!
and brakepads must be cheap in the US....every yank pilot i have flown with wears them out taxiing!!
anyway....have a nice day....and make sure you stop before the runway does!
