If good advice on how to prevent your own death gets your back up, then you should be in neither a helicopter nor indeed any vehicle. This is exactly the attitude I'm talking about; individuals who truly believe they know better, despite knowing they have received only basic training and have no/little experience of IMC situations. Almost all 'seniors' in the industry are prepared to give advice slowly and calmly, without being intimidating or demeaning and almost all low time PPLs will be genuinely receptive - on the ground. It's getting them to lose that arrogance and realise they're only moments from death when they're alone in the air
