Well today was a another milestone in my training - the first solo nav!
After looking like it would be touch and go weather wise this morning, I was given the green light to head out and do my little jaunt around south east England...although it really felt quite more impressive than that! Everything went well, a smooth departure out of Redhill, a lap of Tonbridge via some way points then back again - the guys in ATC were really good (both Redhill and Farnborough) - it all felt quite relaxed!
There are times during training, where it may feel like you're not getting it, or you're stressed because you didn't quite get it right - but these are the days that really feel rewarding, and definitely worth it!
Many thanks to the guys at Cubair for helping make the experience what it is.
A few exams then hopefully skills test awaits.
