No, nothing like that. This has definite benefits.
Tell you waht, you try them and the next time you fly with your
instructor after that see if he doesn't notice how much smoother you
are.

Ok. My next session will be regaining my solo currency, and then
following that I'm supposed to do a few sessions of Solo General
Handling, so I'll try and include a few of these in there somewhere.

OK, jsut had lunch with a UK QFI as it happens.
We chatted abou tthis very thing since it was on my mind. He thinks they
sound like a great idea and he's going to try them next time he does
some lightplane flying.
So if your instructor shows you these next time out you'll know it was
down to me.

Haven't tried it. Maybe I'll give it a go on the sim.

(big grin implied there by the way!)

One thing it is definitely 100% useless for.

Yep. That was definitely a tongue in cheek momeny there!

Yeah good idea. Do them at about 1,000 ft agl. Ideally it should be
lower, but you might upset the neighbors and the CAA if you do.



Don't want to upset the CAA before I even get my license!


He had a good idea for that. H e reckons one of the idsused airfields
that England is littered with is perfect for this.
