NOT FLOWN for weeks? This is what happens | Currency flight SKILL FADE

This is what can happen when you haven't flown for a long time... Skill fade! I've been away from the Cabri helicopter for 27 days. I've re-read the pilot's operating handbook and been extra thorough with my checks but I feel rusty even though I'm still just within my currency period. How much I've forgotten and what skills have faded after almost a month away remains to be seen...
I'm fortunate to have been flying regularly during the covid lockdown as I build hours towards a flight instructor rating but over the last month I've been learning to fly the R44 rather than the Cabri G2. I'd love to know what you're doing to make sure you have a safe return to flying after perhaps several months away from the cockpit. Comment below or get in touch on social media. Thanks for watching!
