Practice Pan
Not sure if this is one more for the military, however...
As a bog standard PPL I do like to occasionally give 121.5 a call for a practice pan. Although I'm a good boy and listen out for genuine incidents in progress before opening my gob, I'm always a little wary about trying anything too taxing lest people think I'm taking the piss.
If there's any D&D people on here, what's deemed reasonable to ask during a practice pan? During my PPL training I was told you like to have a bit of a practice yourselves every now and again, so maybe I shouldn't be afraid to play around a bit eg be lost and not know a previous position, pretend my DI is bust and compass has gone out of alignment, simulate a broken transponder, generally act dumb etc etc - really silly stuff.
Cheers
BB.
