Probably guilty as charged, although in my defence, I am reasonably self aware of my capabilities (i.e. I know their limited...)!No cheques; no complaints; I continue to be interested in peoples views. I have to stress flying here is my choice and is cheap as chips...After winter, I will certainly be going in for a thorough checkout and possibly some extra lessons, it gets more interesting, when I am flying regularly somewhere else and then come back here. If I have been spending the past 3 weeks at another location flying every weekend, do I still need a check out? If not, as I have just had 3 hours with an instructor, at a different location do I need a checkout? Either way, I feel it has interesting implications...Hey ho.
