Not wanting to bring the thread into a wannbies type bitch fest.
I noticed that the poster said they were integrated trained.
How much experience did you have prior to this event in planning and executing your own flights outside the training environment of your course?.
Its not intended as a derogatory remark I know that you guys are trained from the outset with RHS something sexy in mind. I presume every flight you do is in the course syllabus with no latitude for spur of the moment. I also presume as well every flight will have been checked by an instructor and signed off as you don't get a license until you have finished the whole lot.
Would it be fair to say that this is one of the few flights you have been PIC on that nobody has doubled checked what you have planned, exam flights excluded.
