So thanks for the replies. I guess nothing i didn't know deep down ...
FlyingLapinLOu - is it that obvious I'm female?
I don't recall mentioning it , but the article did strike home to me too
DAR - good point about not rushing , I may want to pick my time when there is not a lot of commercial traffic around. I've had to do some crazy things to maintain spacing behind the big boys before
FANS - I take your point about the weather , the trouble is I'm hyper conservative . If I wait until the perfect day I'll be old and grey!
KIWI - any recommendations song wise?
I must make sure I'm not hanging on to the mike trigger at the same time
A couple of you mentioned about telling ATC that its my first time (be gentle with me ?
) . Ok so now you've given me somethign else to obsess over
what do I say?
when do I tell them , as I request taxiing ? takeoff? in the air? when they tell me to do something I don't wanna?
doesn't it sound a bit sad to broadcast that over the air?
why do I care?
See, completely beyond help
