Not aimed at anybody in particular, just a general comment. And it was about landing fees.
I learned many years ago at Old Sarum where a membership fee got me all of my landing fees. I often fly and occasionally instruct at Cranfield where the same is still true - £125pa and all my landings are covered. Cranfield is a busy airport with plenty to stretch anybody.
Occasionally I'll take a student to Enstone where they can do circuits all day for £25, which seems reasonably affordable.
I do agree that any pilot should ideally be comfortable at both a busy towered airport, and at a non-radio farmstrip, and most points in between. I also know a few microlight pilots who are terrified of going anywhere that's likely to require any meaningful radio use, but also have come across a number of GA pilots who regard a non-radio short grass strip as a completely unnecessary and stupid risk.
Both are being unnecessarily paranoid. But without training that covers both, how are they supposed to understand that?
