  5. the purpose of the 25 mile limit is to allow you to learn how to fly without having to worry about navigation weather etc not to allow you to go touring and sight seeing stay within your 25 mile limit you will understand why when you get your cross country endorsement
  6. how about instead of everyone spreading rumours people should state the facts.If someone says they have emails and letters they should post them or SHUT UP I am sick of this talk about people must resign for raa to survive WHY WHAT HAVE THEY DONE so come on put your pen where your mouth is and tell us what you know or is it all BS and just a personal vendetta ie throw enough mud and some will stick
