ie are unable to fly at an assigned alt or heading
Oh B
gger, When I revalidated last month I thought it was a suggestion rather than a strict order (240ish at 2500ishft).
I also wonder how you can judge the ultimate effectiveness of a PFL or EFATO without applying the "land & walk away" test.
Similiarly, was the stall poor airmanship or a bit of practice at unusual attitude recovery ?
I also left my revalidation flight until the last minute (I thought if push came to shove I could always do with a bit of IMC training - NO PFL or EFATO) but there are many more factors that could affect a pilot's performance in certain tasks, not least of which is the ubiquitous "bad day" that, without a sign off could potentially force a lot more cost on a PPL or even put them off revalidating (& therefore flying) altogether.
I would still go legal to recover my costs if I was refused a sign off (although obviously I would also address the airmanship issues, if any, that got me into the situation in the first place).
BTW is this the 5 minute argument or the full half hour?
Morning all, enq.
