I agree with IO540, the FAA are more stringent in their tolerances.
btw - anybody else having a problem in replying to a post and not getting the option to quote?
SoCal APP, Yep, you are quite right FAA tolerences are tighter, but last time I looked I didn't make CAA policy. I'll make a note in the diary to pop over to the states to learn to fly.
I am just telling it how it is here in the UK, which I believe has the most relevance to the original thread.. and yes the quote function doesn't work for me either, pressed 'reply' to get this.
