The problem is The CAA, by removing it from the syllabus instructors have become lazy and incompetent. Lets be honest most people are taught by those trying to get up the greasey pole. Where is the experience and knowledge from a guy teaching you who could have done less than 300 hours ??????
I agree entirely about confined areas, I spend a shed load of time with students doing that. Again it is all about subconscious, if you know you can do it !!!!
