Credit where it's due? That's fine when you fly with someone who's on top of their game, but with most PPL's flying the bare minimum of hours to keep their licence valid, then it's rare that the standard you see initially is any where close to being good enough.
That's not being harsh, it's just what I've seen over the past few thousand hours. Great unwashed? Maybe, but when you fly at smallish clubs, that's what happens. Most PPL's can't afford to fly everyday or even every week.
It doesn't make them any "worse" than those who fly more regularily, they just need a bit more support from people like us.
Airbus38, if you know how something should be done, then why waste other people's time by doing it incorrectly.
I never understand what the fuss about this is. It's laid down clearly and I think it's sensible, so why does everyone seem to want to argue about it? So you can get an extra hour or two into your P1 column? Oh please, as a non professional pilot, nobody gives a monkeys about how many hours you have P1.
