BEagle,
I also do an exercise where in order to build confidence
I ask the student "do you think that you could still do that turn if I covered all the flight instruments?..., check later with altimeter
No hard feelings, I'm sorry that those two US flight schools, left a bad impression with you
,... but see we are not too bad here in the US
I can see you care and "Just like to see things done properly"
