Don,t pick on the boy
"student i was flying with has over 400 hours has done his CPL course in this country, failed his CPL skills test ( 3 times )". Change Student to Pilot
H500 got me to where I feel I have a chance of not killing myself or others.
Was 60 before I started to learn so not the best age & I never will be the best or most confident pilot, but I feel he gave me a good grounding as to what & how to cope in an situation that was not normal.
The engine tail rotor etc does not usually notify you in advance (S92) before it goes TU.
I feel that recurrent training can only be good & as long as I am put in no danger the training emergency is a good way for me to understand how I will cope.
Some one brought up the thought regarding private flyers\ work & where their head is, this I can agree with there were days when I would not fly due to my mind being on other things, may be age related
