Sorry Fred, fault this end. I'd logged on earlier, and was compiling some work in another window, I noticed you were there and was waiting for your contact. S*ds law meant a network meltdown and I had to restart and then go through the Hotel log in, before restarting IVAO, by the time I was back, you were airborne. Things perked up later, as when EGLL is unmanned some Dutch pilots contact me for a Radar Advisory Service (I'm not sure if this is in the remit). I was asked for this last week by a KLM VA pilot and word has obviously spread. They got better when Speedbird023 came on, he flew my 24 procedure and ran an OCKham Hold for practice last week. He usually flies the PiC767 but wanted more practice in the 737. It was a learning curve for both, but now wanted PEPIS Hold (Farnborough's Hold) this time. His precision was a thing of beauty. Etihad24 having departed for Paris (unmanned) decided, once cleared zone boundary, to return. coupled with GQH99 helicoptor vfr flight, things moved along at a good pace - even needed "break" once or twice. I have moved quite quickly to Student3 rating, I passed with an 85 in the C1 theoretical (quite easy) but will defer the practical section until I have more movements under my belt. It doesn't seem right that I could achieve this on IVAO with less than 15 movements handled, whatever the quality! Keep em peeled for news of a practical at EGLF though! I return from the region on Monday, so my time online will be lessened as I'm sure SWMBO will have a list....
