Default RE: BMFA Jet 'C' Test

When I did my B test, I could fly the routine. It was not the test that taught me anything or raised my standards it only sufficed to prove I could do it on that day. I have found the hard way that flying standards improve by lots of flying and mistakes are punished by crashing in many cases. This adds to the desire to get it right or give up. A 'C' test will not improve my standard of flying, a flying 'workshop' might. By this I mean that those that are more experienced have the opportunity to help those that have a desire to learn. I believe Geoff White and Dick Spreadbury used to do a similar thing with Paul Heccles, many years ago.
