A and C,
Just to set the scene. I didn't want to deal with specifics. My original post was a moan at a moan about the same ol' same ol' being posted.
Not that I agree with Fly (heaven forbid
) But I don't think first time passes should be the criteria used to judge if you are or are up to it. Wether we like it not, being identified for suitability is not a scientific endeavour for any job. First time passes are good, but I bet many of the best airline pilots out there went solo after 10hrs and failed one or two things. If anything, failing a section gives you a chance to really show your metal.
