At the risk of thread drift, I did give him a couple of nudges about Luton, but he didn't do anything about it....

Some UAS QFIs would be almost completely lost if they went outside the 'local flying area' - or went somewhere other than a 'standard navigation route'.....

When I first went to ULAS, the CFI told me that the 'local flying area' was for solo students - if you needed to go spinning or something and the weather was clearer further to the north, for example, then just go there and get the job done.

Some QFIs found that all TFD though - and could barely find their own ar$eholes without a mirror, let alone find their way around the wilderness of British West Oxfordshire....

Probably because they were too accustomed to having a navigator?
