[quote]. .It's the same in the circuit. How the **** was I supposed to complete a BUMFFICHH check on a downwind leg? There wasn't enough time, never mind get out the "Golf Delta Golf downwind" call!. .<hr></blockquote>
Wierd at first, isn't it? I remember exactly this bit - my downwind leg was turning into a cross country. Then one time I had this strange moment when it was all done. Aircraft trimmed, call made, checks done, and still 30 seconds or so before I had to turn base. Quick chat with my instructor about the view, then bounced the b@stard on landing ... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
