between 2004 and 2006 we had an Italian walk in.
Was already signed off for his MEIR skill test in Italy but on vacation in Florida. Asked to do some training flights on our Aztec to stay sharp for his up coming ride. Which was cool as I actually knew what was expected on a JAA ME-IR.
He cancelled every planned flight after the first flight we did.
Alledegedly as I was trying to get him to do way too much and none of it necessary. Examiner was a friend of his dad and al he needed to do was a VOR approach and that was it.
He balked at the idea of wearing a hood or view limiting device.
True story....
