Very cool experience @tr7v8! I'm really looking forward getting out of my backyard at North Weald, but there'll be time for that yet.
If you were to choose for the rest of your training, would you fly the PA28 or the C172?
Hmm hard to say, as only had 1 hour in the PA28, which is a LOT older than the 172 I fly, different instructor & Jersey airport is a whole different animal to Rochester. I think the PA28 is slightly easier to fly, it doesn't have the massive trim changes which the 172 does. I suspect once you have your licence you wouldn't worry BUT when you're doing circuits at Rochester which take 8-10 minutes it is yet something else to deal with in terms of workload. I am getting better but I sometimes feel like a one armed paper hanger dealing with it all.
