Readbackcorrect,
You are certainly not short-cutting the training by asking questions. I didn't mean to suggest that you were. Apologies.
Keep asking questions. You'll either find an answer, or realise that no one else knows either! Either way you feel better anyway.
Good luck. I've got my A-Cat renewal next month so I'd better dust my own notes off a bit. Haven't flown anything piston-powered for over six months. Maybe I can just put the examiner in the jumpseat at work and patter through a few upper air exercises with the autopilot off.
Then again, I'd rather leave the AP on and have a coffee. Bugger the renewal.
Bombay.
