if you can't hand fly a raw data ILS you shouldn't be in the RHS
You don't say. Maybe I wasn't quite clear enough. I can fly a raw data ILS thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have got anywhere near the right hand seat of an airliner. My personal definition of 'rubbish' is clearly somewhat harsher than the CAA's, as they and my airline were both happy enough with my performance.
My point, which was obviously not well made, was that we all find one or more aspects of flight training difficult, but fixating on them can make things worse rather than better, and that with hindsight they are often not the big issue they appear to be at the time.
Anyway, enough advice from experienced pilots - back to the bitching . . .
