that deserves a special entry
Well done
Hope you can squeeze in the night solo before the light comes back...

Whoops, forgot about this post
Anyway, I finished my night rating on the 27th March, thankfully. I think my instructor was really glad that he didn't have to show up at 8pm to begin flying...
Now planning on starting my IMC rating on the 5th August. Should be a fun rating to obtain.

Skills test passed on Weds Apparently the CAA have been turning licenses around quite quickly recently, so fingers crossed.

Just in time for the summer, too. Enjoy

First solo, 27.May.2019, out of LSZN.

Still in mild disbelief that I actually did this.

Learning at Turweston EGBT. First solo completed on Friday 24th May, followed by another couple of solo circuits on Tuesday 28th.

Significant (15kt) cross wind yesterday presented an extremely challenging session learning to keep the aeroplane on the centre line with crab angle etc, so no more solo time added.

Smart blue licence arrived this morning, so 9 working days from application to receipt. Not bad!

Hello,

May I add my name to the list please?

I decided in November last year that I was going to get my PPL by the time I turned 35 on 30 April this year - which I did - with 0 days to spare! Celebrated my birthday whilst doing my skills test Spent pretty much 4 months looking at a Cessna.

On to hour building now, if the weather ever lets me up there...

Quick job, well done. Congratulations! Have fun with the hour building

Oooh didn't realise "First Solo Nav" was a thing, did mine 19th June

We cater for all here...
If anyone wants a "first time I made a successful radio call and understood the QNH correctly" category, we'll add that!

Well done on your first solo NAV

CPL skills test passed in Jerez 24/6/19

This week I passed my FAA CPL/IR.

I'll compose a lengthy post about it in due course, as I suspect it may interest many people - but for now I am celebrating, then sobering up, then going home.

Can you add me to the "First Solo" list. Achieved it on Monday 24/06/19
