quick gen questions re ppl
Firstly weather:
I have just confirmed my membership to a club and now have access to the online booking system so im free to choose a plane, time and instructor of my choosing however my club is 2 hrs drive away and I cant really afford to turn up only to be told that its a no go. I can read TAFS and METARS and i dont want to be hassling the instructor at 7 in the morning every time calling to see what they think the prospects are. What are the general limits of weather I should consider to be flying conditions for a new pilot please?
Also Im currently doing my Human performance and limitations studying and I need to know if i can use a flight computer in exam for collision distance.
A further question with HP&L is a question on useful consciousness. Do i really need to know the whole table of useful consciousness with heights and body activity? it seems a lot of numbers.
Finally (and i dont want to get flamed for this) i would like an opinion on whether there are benefits/limitations by going for a young well trained instructor or a retired experienced pilot of pensionable age?
