Example, yesterday we sent a stude for first solo. He did his checks in the run up bay, then another aircraft cut in front of him, taxiid to the holding point and spent several minutes on run-ups, even though there had been plenty of room in the run-up bay.
Well, at least our bloke was able to log 0.4 command time for one circuit!
A classic example of a lack of airmanship from the guy in the right hand seat with all the shiny gold bars... Not the first time it has happened, and contact with the organisation involved just produces defensive nonsense, such as "it's in case the plugs foul after the run-ups."
If that's the case, then what about everyone else's plugs?!
Puhleeze!
