Hi Peter thanks for the reply, I am actually at MFT and I do have a good grasp on how it works haha.
Unfortunately the next course isn't until Feb 2nd from that very same instructor that taught you, and my test will be before then.
My thinking is, since I have not sat an approved course and subsequently recieved a sticker in my logbook, then I do not think I will be able to legally use it in flight test conditions.
Someone may be able to clarify this for me. I just don't want the ATO to switch it off completely since I am not "approved" to use it, as I normally use it for basic functions such as getting a direct track for a diversion etc.
