Thanks all again

Keygrip .... sound advice - a strategy I think I will adopt I also like the idea of reviewing several "what ifs" scenerios.

For example I will be primarily operating from a small uncontrolled strip a few mile east of an international airport albeit not a very busy one - there is a class G sector cut out of their control zone as long as we remain below 1000ft

If there was a problem on our runway then a diversion to this airport could be necessary - but its something that is probably not practiced at least pre-solo (in my experience anyway of learning to fly here).

Some famailarity of the airport layout, radio procedures, VRP and holding points would certainly take the pressure of a low hour solo student if an incident should occur

---------------------

Evilbob - thanks for the feedback - I guess that clears that issue up

Thanks again ..... Neil
