Top tip. Buy a dog. You'll double your IQ over night.
So if ATC tell you to climb FL 25, and you climb FL 35, that's not a bust? I'm
pretty sure it is.
I'm afraid that I don't have a big "propellor" on my shoulders, no. For the record I think the A/Cpl rank is needing replacing too. But only with something seperate from the RAF rank structure. (BTW, you surely MUST be aware that the rank is only given for charging purposes?) I don't hear anyone complaining about RAF PTI's getting acting Cpl rank (PAID) after training!!
So what helicopter do you fly? Green, navy and yellow or white?
