Post Airmanship.

I realise that I am just a lowly PPL student with only 10 hours to my name but can I just ask people to keep a better look out when flying.

I was with my instructor down at Lydd last Saturday and I was amazed at the attitude (or lack of it) towards keeping an eye out for other aircraft. I was second in the circuit when one muppet decided to totally ignore all other aircraft and cut in ahead of us on final. He was waaaaay too close and nearly succeeded in putting it on top of another a/c that was taking off.

On the return journey to Redhill, we were "carved up" by a helicopter who clearly hadn't bothered to look round and check for others in the vicinity!

It seems to me that some PPLs just become oblvious to others in the air once they pass their exams.
