Not seen any updates recently on newish students so I thought I’d post a quick progress report.
So far I have flown just over 12 hours including my trial lesson, done straightish & levelish, various types of climb & descent, turning climbs/descends, slow flight, changing speed of flight, takeoffs nearly always now unless a bit too much crosswind, most proud that I’ve done a couple of unassisted landings but a few more where my FI had some input. Next to be doing is stalling when weather allows.
Doing a bit more radio work with each lesson now (full ATC where I fly so should be good practice for the future).
Been reading my books & practising exams on phone app & practicing a bit of nav on my charts in the house.
Only “downside” I’ve found is that I’m finding out that the more I learn, the more I realise how much I’ve still got to learn
No real milestones yet although in my own mind landing the plane unassisted was one.
Would love to hear how other students are getting on with their courses & any tips/pointers they may have learned on the way?
