Fave exercises
Love spinning/aeros, formation, instruments and nav especially LL Nav
I love the ah ha moments in Nav. Blogs are you sure you have studied the route, are you sure you track, alt and timings are correct for this leg. Excellent you can have the map back at 2 mins before your checkpoint/way-point then. Sit back stare out the window and watch the countryside go under the nose.
The realization that the event cycle actually does what it says on the tin is so satisfying.
Don't mind circuits as long as the progression is there but slow flight and C&D can be a bit "can we get on with it" exercises
