The subject of preferred turn direction has come up all too frequently on

If you can't thermal equally well to the right and left, or fly patterns
equally well to the right and left, please get more training! Don't be
surprised if other pilots avoid you in the air until you can do both well.

I believe that the inability to turn well in both directions is a strong
indicator of diminished flying abilities. As such, it is a reliable
precursor to an accident. On a BFR, it's a showstopper.

Equally well? So, when I do my BFR I should make my left turns slightly
less precise, so they match my perfectly adequate right turns. Seems a
bit harsh.

P.S. I try to thermal to the right more than left, so I won't have to
fudge as much on my next BFR.
