That's an interesting and revealing statement, Big Pistons. Perhaps I muddied the waters by mixing in my initial solo training with proficiency reports as a professional pilot. Clearly a professional in any field is required to cut the mustard. But "there's no value in documenting things you're already good at..." Really? Your words certainly back up my own impression of how things are. But is this really how it ought to be? Let's not confuse this with a training debrief; surely a proficiency report should be just that, a reasoned account of the good and bad. Those reports may be referred to many years later by people who aren't instructors, or even pilots and major career decisions based upon them. Is there any other walk of life where quite minor failings are kept on file forever but one's strengths are not even recorded?
