I started my PPL training on 14th April 2007. Since then, i have visited, Bembridge, Dunkeswell, Lasham, Blackbushe, Fairoaks, Redhill, Cranfield and Tatenhill. I have flown with 6 different instructors and i am not yet half way through the training. With the great help from the BDFA, i was able to start my pilot training. I have to say that i am loving it. I flew today from Tatenhill and it was just a joy to fly in JV again. It was like seeing an old friend. I have not flown in JV since 31st May 2007 where i managed to get 30 mins flying – mostly touch and go’s at Blackbushe. I had the pleasure today of flying with an extremely briliant pilot whose background is amazing.
I did slow flying, steep climbs, best glide endurance, stalling part 2, this was in the morning. Session 2 in the afternoon was doing circuits and touch and go’s. My instructor told me that i had done well and that he did not feel nervous whilst i got the grips of landing during a slight cross wind. It makes SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE to have highly experienced pilots teaching you. i do not know how to thank everyone enough. I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Paul, who has given me the best training that anyone could wish. i have missed flying with him.
I am going to do some flying at a new FTO based on the East Coast. This may the be location where part 2 of my PPL training is conmpleted. Watch this space. I shall do my write up when i get a chance to. May not be for a few days…I have some great friends and a wonderful family. Without them and their kind support, i could not be as happy as i am. Thanks to Rusty and the Bradshaw’s for letting me stay at their place whilst i attend my new flying school.
keep it in the green.
