In my IR, heading down the ILS as Bournemouth, the headwind gusted strongly and the glideslope indicator dropped down to half scale deviation. Obviously parallax error made it look to the examiner that it was out of limits but it wasn't and I will fight anyone who says that it was. I'm going to sue the Examiner, Aircraft manufacturer, Instrument manufacturer and the CAA because it cost me a fortune and I need to blame somebody...

Get a grip!

Examiners look very carefully at certain items. I remember mine, leaning over a couple of times to check at certain stage of the flight. They won't guess!

You will have had ample opportunity to demonstrate that you had the right qnh set. What did you write down for your initial atis, what did you set on standby, what checks did you make in the air, what qnh did you get and set for your approach and what for your return? Did you SAY IT OUT LOUD?

'You never back down from a fight'...right, Ok, in that case you should be prepared to take one on the chin.
