Thanks for the replies, escpecially to Flying for fun, for such a detailed break-down.. .. .Perhaps I could ask if anybody could clarify the one part of the test that I'm dreading more than the other bits - the part where they deliberately get you lost, then ask you to establish where you are.. .. .I've been told you only have one crack at this, if you give the wrong answer, you fail the test. also been told that it's usually carried out after the 180 degree instrument turn.. .. .Anyway, thanks again
