Ah yes, but bear in mind we generally put the automatics in at around 1500ft after T/O, and take them out at around the same height on landing, unless it is a fantastically good day ! We don't pole it about like light a/c pilots.

I've archived Chuck's instruction here and I am determined to go back and sort it out.... I'm used to flying by numbers, so I need some science to help me back into the smaller machines.

Do not think that light or general aviation is in someway inferior to heavy jet flying. It is not. It requires a different skill set, approach and mind-set. You can be the guy who does the £100 burger flights every Summer, or you can learn as much as possible about aviation and maximise the license and skills you have.

I am now just able to afford light a/c flying, and I am learning a lot of skills I have long since forgotten, including landing ! Sorry, what was that... I need to use the rudder for turns ??!!
