Why do it if it's not fun?

I can't imagine what calling Solent in the middle of a summer saturday for an approach would be like.
Never do your test on a gusty day
Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?

You guys want to be paid to fly unsuspecting punters around the world, yet you're not happy about calling Solent on a busy day, or flying a hold in a gust???

The advice not to take your test in tricky conditions is sensible. But I'd like my training to be in as difficult conditions as possible. Not dangerous, of course - just difficult. That way I'm more likely to be able to handle difficult situations when they're thrown at me in a sim ride. And, more importantly, I'm more likely to be able to handle difficult situations when they occur in real life.

Just my own thoughts, of course... what do the rest of you think?
