Next stage. Completed on line flight from Kirkbride to Andreas OK. Next
tried to file a Pirep, for which I have to log on. My password was rejected
but up popped a message, telling me it was wrong, so did I want to use the
password stored by Windows. I opted to do that and was immediately logged
on!
Having filled in the Pirep up popped a message telling me I can't file a
Pirep at the moment because I'm not an active pilot. Catch 22?
