Thanks for the explanation. I fully accept your reasons.
You are quire right to proceed at a pace that is commensurate with the conditions and your experience. And it was reasonable for your trainer to let you get on with it, as it was entirely safe to do so.
AGP ( Malaga – Spain) is a place were one can get into trouble under certain circumstances; and sadly ATC is sometimes not as good as it could be.
I was curious if anything odd was going on at JMC, but guess by coincidence had a run of training flights. Thanks for taking the post in the good nature that it was intended, and good luck with your training.
