Crosswind Limits
Mmm 5000 CPL/IRs would make things interesting but I was just trying to highlight the fact that most of us are aware of what lies ahead and that you can't let recessions and a potential Iraq bust up get you down! The sunny days of pilot shortages will be back to visit us at some point. When that will happen is a very good question!
The rules for exams are a bit different for integrated courses. With hardly any gaps during the course, it is quite tough to slot in any re-sits and have enough time to revise with other exams as well as the flying side of things zooming at you at a rate of knots!
