Hughes500,

until he had had some form of navigation training and then had to do a skills test with a senior examiner.
I don't think navigation is the problem here. After all, he managed to find his own car park and then on this occasion the hotel he wanted to land at....

Hopefully, after his earlier prosecution after landing in his supermarket car park, he does now understand the legal requirement to obtain CAA written permission to land at a private site in a congested area; but he probably already knew about that too.

However, I have been a little surprised how many pilots on this forum aren't aware of that requirement, or don't bother gaining CAA permission for congested area landings, either!
