On a recent PPC, the Aussie capt "checked" by his "mate" crashed not once, but three times. CRASHED, and got all five scores. But the Aussie briefed the procedure into exhaustion, so it's all cool….

He lacked basic stick and rudder skills.

I got all threes…while being ridiculed for being a "Yank" while NOT crashing

One of the Ernest Gann books talks about the pilots that die with a microphone in hand instead of flying the damn plane!
