Received mine today and was quietly impressed. The mag is targeted at GA pilots who (with the exeption of IO540) fly once or twice a month. manly on local bimbles. Get very little practice at real navigation and if they go anywhere other than their local area have a tendency to get lost. This probably includes me. Getting lost anywhere near CAS means busts, me again.

So I thought it a very welcome surprise.

Glad I am not in the same club as the low hour guys flying into a lowering cloud base though. Losing it in IMC with a stall, rapid descent (probably exceeding VNE) high engine revs (probably red lining the engine) and a bad landing. Didn't mention it at the club (incase of overstressed airframe, damaged engine or even bent undercarriage) to avoid embarresment.
