Depends whom you do the FIC with. My instructor was pxxxed a lot of the time, wasnt interested and refused to fly with me on many occasions and told me once, " you will never make a flying instructor"!
A few months later he was sacked for sending a student on a 1 hour cross country an hour before it got dark and tbe student landed 3 hours 20 minutes later non radio at Manchester International Airport in tbe dark thinking it was Birmingham- he was 120 miles off the original track to Gloucester!
