I was shown the AIP, Lasors, the CAA web site etc etc etc and believe I was taught very thoroughly.
However.... I recently came across a very experienced instructor/examiner who told me I could log P1S for a flight where I'd dragged an instructor with me (I was right on the limit of my currency on that type) and where he hadn't had to touch the controls or influence the flight in anyway.
I'd always been told that P1S was ONLY for the use of the successful completion of a test and said this to him, but he said I was wrong - so I logged PUT! (as I was taught originally!)
Not wanting to inflame the thread - but maybe instructors/examiners should look to themselves for the lack of knowledge/understanding in pilots rather than assume it must be laziness - as we usually do as we were taught.
