I've already done some glide and flapless landings (my first flapless happened because I forgot to apply flaps - by the time I realised on finals my instructor said: "No worries, we'll do it flapless" Gulp!). Can you recall what speeds you used for these or were they still at 70kts but with different attitudes? In my circuits last weekend I was focussing on 70kts as my target speed...
In the nav exam you said that you needed a calculator. What was that for? I don't recall needing one at all last week - did you make use of the calculator / slide rule side of your flight computer? I did find it to be the longest exam by far, checking and rechecking and rechecking the figures before commiting to the answer.
Thanks for the great heads up on the R/T practical exam. That's the first I've heard about how it works. An extremely valuable insight.
Which airports do you usually fly out of?
