DFC, Of course you are right, I stand corrected in the light of your infinite wisdom. As is proven time and time again on here you are never wrong..............
Now that I have the benefit of your wisdom I shall at once observe your guidance. How frequent do you think my enroute alternates should be, every 10 miles to be on the safe side or something more frequent? Shall I have a ferry tank fitted just to make sure I have appropriate reserves.
In fact if you don't mind a little bit of online IR training would clearly benefit me. I realise that being an active IR flyer yourself I will benefit from a mountain of wisdom.
