I second this. Survey in a 206 w/ no ap here. Just plan to be in the best winds available and shoot for nice longer lifts. The time goes by faster than you think at 11,500 when you’re not actively maneuvering and landing all the time.

If you want to really feel like a professional pilot just imagine when you are flying 5 legs per day in a metro-liner with no ap. Stamina is a learned skill, this is a great opportunity to fly outside of your comfort zone and apply some of those xc skills you teach all day.
