"But surely you have read either the Trevor Thom manuals or the AFE / similar manuals, and then sat the PPL exams? Hopefully that would teach you the theory behind met, using the mixture, preflight nav planning etc."
So you would want your Doctor to treat you on the basis of the theory learnt from Gray's anatomy?
No one ever told me how to lean the mixture during my PPL. I have just looked back through my first log book - I had six different instructors. I thought you just left the mixture rich and whatever TT said, I wouldnt have been brave enough to tamper with it, even if I had grasp what TT had to say on the matter.
I admit weather came from the club notice board as did the NOTAMS.
Strange how many people have had and still have the same experience.
Anyone had their instructor chat to them about where, when and how they obtain weather and NOTAMS at their last biennial. (Thanks Rustle you are quite correct, but there is no hyphen
).
