cynical and over-opinionated PPLs
Oh. Right. But is that your over-opinionated opinion showing through?
I didn't have the distraction of internet forums back in the '70s, and went with the 'school flow' (including ludicrous C150 checklists) and got a near-minimum hours PPL.
But we
were taught to THINK, and to TAKE COMMAND, and the first thing out the window post exam stage was that bluddy checklist! (second thing was the whizz wheel).
Today's studes will form their own opinions.... Given the data to evaluate.
