After I had gained my PPLh I started to learn all about flying , in my rush I decided to try a few autos, after my flight I explained what I had been doing to my Cfi, who very patiently explained to me that it was not the wisest of things to do all on my own, so what I do now is evry time I fly I go for a quick Auto with my Cfi, whe now says that I am quite fit to do them any time any where, but I realise that a newish Pilot is putting him/herself at needless risk by practicing on their own, for after all, you cannot surprise yourself with the words "Engine Failure" ....but your pax CFI can! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> . .However try it in a B206, and it seems a Non event!. . . . <small>[ 27 March 2002, 20:40: Message edited by: Vfrpilotpb ]</small>
