eothg.

I am not very good at this lark, currently, maybe from what I have read in 5000 hours I will be ok, however, with my 20 odd hours and about 8 engine off landings to the ground, I will tell you of my experiences, first time, "that is mad!!!!" second time "ok let me try" third time "mmmm,I do not think I could do that." ect ect 7th time " I think i could do this" 8th time " Maybe not" Anyway, I feel a lot more confident of my instructors ( mad as they are ) and I hope that one day I could save my aircraft, myself and my passengers because of this early training.
p.s A test pilot in the H500 I was learning in said quite clearly to me, "engine off " I said "what did you say" he said "never mind"
i.e I am dead.
