Thanks for your support! Have always found you all very helpful. (Creeping as mine is tea with milk and 2 sugars!)
Only prob we have is our Icom A3E isn't the most user friendly radio when you are in a hurry!
I have a distinct advantage over the others due to the CPL with the radio as 'nerves' have often taken over and its easier to make a diversion than take (the unfounded) risk of sounding silly or causing you or aircraft any problems.
My biggest worry is that a taxi-ing aircraft will panic when they see us heading for them at a gret rate of knots and do something 'silly'!
Been there and done as a PPL into LAX in a R22 several years ago - got a "Landline tower before attempting to leave pad" - they wanted to tell me the gate access code but have never been so scared to make a phone call in my life![B]
