Nothing pejorative at all, I can assure you. But I guess to the truly paranoid, all comment must seem critical......

Having reasonably extensive experience of both PPL and RAF UAS instruction (that's real UAS, not sodding drones), I know full well, for example, that it isn't necessary to teach maintenance of the buffet nibble in a max rate turn whilst looking over his shoulder to a student pilot who will only ever want to potter quietly around the countryside on touring flights to different aerodromes - and there's nothing wrong with that.

300KIAS at 300 ft, then a climbing break. That's what I was taught as a baby pilot on the JP5 at SORF Leeming - and grand fun it was too! But those who try to fly VRIABs in unsuitable aircraft at small civvy aerodromes are often a danger to everyone including themselves......
