Very good points from Ghengis. I'm toying with the idea of doing my powered ticket this year, and if I do I'm going to take it all one step at a time as if I've never been in an aircraft before or seen an instrument panel, regardless of the fact that I have C+G part 3 aircraft engineering, spent 20 odd years as an avionics guy, and have probably piloted light aircraft (as P2 obviously) for longer than I would have had to do to get a license in the first place........a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, plus nobody likes a smart arse.
