Awesome T6!
Simon sounds like a great instructor! He sounds like he's not putting you into pressure when it's not needed, and something that I find really valuable from an instructor: lets you correct for your own mistakes without taking control.

I shall be away visiting my Mum next week. I just want to give her a 'shout out' - she rings me after every lesson to find out how I got on, asking excitedly how it went. How lovely is that? I'm in my late 50's btw

I lost my detail vision in 2001 (basically a detached retina but a bit more complex) so to all intents and purposes, I can only see out of my right eye.....
It's basically a practical review to ensure that I can appropriately compensate for the loss of vision.

As part of the class 2 medical, a CFI or Examiner is required to do a medical check flight. https://www.caa.co.uk/WorkArea/Download ... 4294992265
