TC .... Most of the time it is ...but not this time !!
When you teach your son to drive a car and he passes his test and goes off on his own in the pouring rain ....... Do you feel better that you took him into a field and showed him how you can feel when the car is about to skid . Maybe you let him over cook it and spin the car and show him how he was powerless to stop it spinning ? Then you hope he thinks of that when he is on the road ..... Forewarned .
With helicopters we have none of this . We train in good weather . We land at prepared sites . We practice loads of engine off autos etc which are fun , but quite frankly the very least thing likely to kill you !! We pass our test .
Then alone we go to friends houses , unprepared and we fly home into a front . This is possibly the first time we have ever flown in bumpy cloudy weather , albeit keeping 500ft ..just .
That is not the way I first flew with my licence I can tell you !!
But you stay happy with the system that you think is working so well ....
