So got to do it at rather short notice last Thursday. The forecast put gusting winds beyond the crosswind limit of the aircraft which dually disappeared on the 1019 just after I arrived. Game on then.

Still with a Northerly the hold, approaches and landing would be and were sporting. To cut a long story short, most of the test was satisfactory. I partialled though so will have to retake the procedural NDB/DME part again. Yeovil is evil and the DME hardly works.

I also got castigated slightly for not knowing what the “approach ban” is. Some CAP393/ANO for bedtime reading then. 🙂

I’m hoping the retest is next door at Bristol Filton (test starts at Bristol Lulsgate) so not too far away and a more helpful field. I’m on the standby list for this forthcoming week and iirc have a proper slot the following Tuesday.

By the way the later forecast, published just as we we went flying (bit too late to affect a change of plan), put the gust back in so technically I shouldn’t have been up 🙂
