Pandora,
Thanks for the replies.
...these are not meant to be excuses, but just an insight that I have analysed my actions, found them wanting in some way and am trying to fix the holes in my knowledge. My bag of luck is a little bit emptier, and I want to make sure my bag of experience has been topped up by the same amount...
A very professional approach, one that will stand you in good stead during your aviation career.
Like all of us after something has happened in the air that we didn't like, you're now a little older, a little wiser, and better prepared for a similar incident should it happen again.
We've all been there! Best wishes for the future.
Dick
