Actually there was no de-brief; only results. However, whilst my hovering skills are quite good for real, they're obviously not up to the standard of some other candidates. However, if this was supposed to be an indication of how quickly I could pick up handling skills, then I don't think it was particularly accurate.

The test was for those who had never even sat in a helicopter as well as those who held a PPL. Those who had never flown before seemed to do better. However, in this context is it really an indication as to how quickly I could learn especially given I'm half way there? I remain to be convinced.

Cheers
