FNG . .. .I take your point, but if it went wrong, I bet the CAA would come down on you for not being the handling pilot - or is it me that needs a dose of reality?. .. .The point I'm trying to make, almost certainy not very well, is that regardless of what the book says, if what you end up doing you do for sound practical reasons, just get on with it and don't worry about it.. .. .PS
