Kippers,

Fully aware that there is a syllabus - just how many people do you know who stick to the syllabus? Most spacies just want to go upside down..... fair do's but not on thier tenth trip in a row eating tax payers money to go on an aero's trip which could have been used far more wisely as a UAS stude's trip instead of (i use this term tenderly...) wasting)?) a trip? Bit of a joke really when there are UAS studes wanting to do a tri which they have been waiting to do for 2 weeks due WX and then they turn up ready to go, WX is great but some cadet is hogging the airframe to go upside down.
ATC and UAS's should NOT mix like that. Either donate some airframes solely for ATC flying or stick 'em all on the vigilant; imho it's more than suitable for teaching them to fly! Will make them better pilots as it's harder to land

Just a thought, not a dig!
