Good on you for your candid summary of your flight!

But yeah, several avoidable errors there - hope you get a positive outcome regardless, but certainly some learning points there for yourself and others about to be in the same situation.

iPad for a check flight? Although I embrace the technology, it just doesn't look good when your complete reliance on it gets exposed when it fails...

In my experience, many junior pilots these days avoid paper charts because they don't know how to use them!!

Sadly, the art of map reading is disappearing and magenta following children are on the rise...
