• Is your CAA proficiency check due? The aim of the check is to make you a safer pilot and not just a hurdle to ensure that you are at the minimum standard; it should be enjoyable and be of real value. Remember you can revalidate your licence any time during the last 3 months of validity with no loss to the original expiry date.

• If you have an FAA certificate, is your biennial flight review (BFR) due or lapsed? What about your instrument currency? You can also do these in a UK registered aircraft in UK. The FAA pilot certificate is recognized in UK, so holders can fly UK registered aircraft in UK airspace after a flight check.

• Multi-engine pilots - how current are you on your asymmetric drills? If you are not practicing these regularly, then you are putting yourself and your passengers at risk

• Do you sometimes need a safety pilot to avoid the pressure of getting to a meeting or for added security?
