And out of context, it looks like she just sucks suddenly for plot reasons... I'll wait for judgment on that.
OK... minimal IMDB info too.

The Doctor wrote:Making Dash such a klutz for the sake of the plot didn't really work for me. She should know a simple safety rule like "watch the runway, given that she had to give Spitfire a dressing down for the horrible safety conditions at the Academy.
Could have just made the problem been her not knowing the routine. It's set up that she doesn't know the routine (which doesn't make much sense if she's supposed to be a reserve. It's like not giving the understudy the script). Instead she's stupid for the sake of being stupid.
And I can't see anything but S1 dash being arrogant enough to showboat on the precision flight team she's been working for years to join. She knows better.
There were some nice moments of the episode, but overall the story was kind of a mess.

I liked the episode a lot though.
