Fabulous news :)
Indeed - there should be 8 hours from bottle to throttle, but there is no reason to follow the same rule from throttle to bottle. Enjoy the cold stuff and savour the feeling. Good job, well done! :thumleft:

In dire need of a calming pint but was fantastic.

Congratulations I had mine on Friday, now into the consolidation phase…. Great feeling isn’t it

Question to all students,

Thank you. Sam.

Hey Sam,

There is a thread for asking questions about licensing requirements - viewforum.php?f=69 so it would be worth asking on there. Lots of knowledgeable people will offer good advice.

AFAIK you would need a LAPL medical at least (from a GP or AME*), but if you are going to be doing the PPL then a Class 2 med from an AME is req'd before you can do the solo. The self declaration is only allowed after you've had a medical certificate issued by a relevant professional, so at renewal you declare you are still fit.

Good news :)

Looking at this year's list so far, there should be a first solo for a couple on here soon, methinks. If only the weather would settle... :thumright:
