That's what I ask, he lives miles from anywhere, - no danger to anyone.
He's already got his orientation etc. from the little plane.
Now he wants to try a trainer, ( he already knows how to handle the engine) well what's wrong with that?

Aagh! disaster will come upon him, - I'ts not allowed, - you can't possibly do that, - it's not in the book, - we'll have to stamp out this trend of uncontrolled self learning behaviour!

Drive 90 miles to find an instructor? - geez!
