I'm very glad to hear that. That's exactly the answer I was looking for, and at least now I know the commercial route will be relatively safe. Next time I know I'm up that way I'll book an examination.
I suppose the final thing to get cleared up now is the whole RAF situation. I wish it was as easy as the requirements for commercial, but I suppose with them, you're training to be on foot too, so it won't be that easy!
Thanks again for answering the question, I've been searching for ages with no luck.
