Thanks for that input Cobalt.
I'm kinda weird when it comes to regs - oddly, i like them and find 'em easy to read :-).
I looked up your reference (was actually paragraph 2, not 4 - just incase anyone else thinks of looking it up
) and found something basically that says the same thing as the equivilant FAA reg.
As for your recommendation on finding a different school - that was my thought after talking to that guy and the reason i started this thread. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the 'unreasonable' guy.
