This is normally the time I'd use to "do something different" and if that route is gone, then there doesn't seem much point in the flight as far as I am concerned, other than to waste money.
I fly with FAA instructors several times per year at least, (my friend is one and we fly together in my plane a fair bit - for fun) but that time doesn't count, but the training is just as good. So for the "official" time I want to do something else other than steep turns, stalls, blah....
thats all
