Quite right Keygrip, the opinion doesn't count. What does count is the arrogance of the inital post. I find it quite alarming that a mandatory piece of the ppl learning process is dismissed as an excuse to make money. Perhaps you feel the same about zone entrance clearances, or landing clearances perhaps??
In this game a little humility goes a long way, without it you become complacent, and that becomes the first link of the accident chain!! Don't fall into the same trap as most drivers. "I've passed the test, so I must be good" It means that at a given time on a given day you reached a MINIMUM standard. Look at it as a licence to learn!!
Just for a bit of thread creep, how does one become an RT instructor/examiner??
