Too right, and it's a good idea to get in there straight away while skills are still sharp and you're confident in yourself following your pass. It fades quick, I found!
I got through that this summer and am currently undertaking my first rating and you know what I found???
...that I had become quite used to the responsibility!
Having someone on my right telling me what to do once more gave me a luxurious sense of immortality! Am trying to keep flying regularly as P1 concurrently so I don't lapse back into that awful passivity.
