I left Shawbury 3 years ago so does that count as recent? As a basic rotary instructor on gazelle, an OCU instructor on puma and a CFS instructor on squirrel, I always saw a student failure as a potential failure on my part. We used to go to great extremes to get people through at the required standard. A post mortem was always carried out on chopee's to see if we could have done better. Usually, the question asked was: 'would I trust this person to fly me and my family?' Believe me when I say, if you got chopped you were not good enough for the military front line. I do not regret a single chop........
