Look, I've been instructing for seven years now as I STILL haven't met a decent female pilot. The most stressful and traumatic trips I have ever done have been with 'the fairer sex'.
I liken their flying technique to their method of driving: panic first, think later.
Honestly, how many women do YOU know who passed their driving test first time, never mind soloing on a PPL course? I don't mean to sound chauvanist in any way, but I really think most females aren't up to the job.
It's a question of attitude: men are single-minded and dedicated to the task, women are always going to be concerned about picking the kids up from school etc. and all the other trivia that concerns their daily lives. Remember, Men used to hunt, women used to housekeep the cave.
Just an opinion.
