I started my course on 5 May 2003 and today (12th July 2003) I am just about finished. I have found the best way to go through the course is stick to one instructor. If he/she is not available on your day dont fly. So many instructors have different idiosyncraisies in terms of instruction. Stick to one, learn their way of teaching and everything becomes clear. Pete, Im glad you have sussed onto the QFE/QNH stuff now. I think Jane explained it very well. It becomes clear and second nature once you have read all of the jargon relating to it. Just dont do what I did on my first solo cross country. I came in to Thruxton (my home airfield) and was conversing with Boscombe Down MATZ on Portland QNH. I asked to change frequencies to Thruxton and did so, asked for re-join instructions...was given runway, circuit etc and QFE. I wrote it all down on the kneeboard, read it all back to the ATC but forgot to set it. I ended up being some 300 feet low in the circuit on the re-join!! I will never make the mistake again. !! We all make mistakes said the hedgehog climbing down from the brush. Hope all goes well with exams/flying/solo's etc. Sorry if I seem a bit behind all the messages here. I only joined the forum yesterday, and was just trawling through the posts. Best of luck Pete. Chris    Report

Even the radio stuff starts to make sense (must admit I had a head start there as I was a radio operator in the Navy about 20 years ago). 10b's a cracker - just watch for the wing drop and resist the temptation to use the ailerons. good luck Dave    Report

You and Pete must be working for the wrong companies, Most of the places I have worked since IT really got big were the opposite. The IT section were the most humerous and friendly in the company. Oh well! Mike    Report

I learnt mine to spout it until one instructor reminded me that they are different for different aircraft. He gave an example of how he did not have a check list for a certain aircraft but felt he knew what to do. This cost £400+ as the control lock system was different from what he was used to. Since then I have been careful to follow the check list especially with different aircraft - even when I had one in Danish pushed in my hand and was told to get on with it. I was pleased that I could actually figure most of it out and had to ask for very little help. - my Danish is minimal. So know what to expect on a check list but still have it in front of you.    Report

I was referring to forums on the newsgroups. The can be very vitriolic. I remember one post on the VB forum about whether or not to use the end statement after a certain version and it got to the point where these guys were going to go down to a car park and punch it out (well they would have done had they been in the same country). I've seen no evidence of anything other than really good natured/friendly advice and discussion here and I sincerely hope it stays that way. Now I've gone really off topic so apologies to everyone else I won't mention it again. Dave    Report
