Hi Everyone, same old story, wanted to do it all my life and finally taken the plunge. Based out of Manchester Barton in a C172 Skyhawk. Trial flight was in a PA-28.
First actual lesson 06/10/21 - zero knowledge or experience/blank canvass (other than test flight).
Pre flight Checklist
Basic manoeuvres Pitch/Roll
Basic instrument overview
Rudder control
Using Trim
Taxiing (which i am finding more difficult than expected, get all muddled with the pedals)
Currently studying Pooleys air law and meteorology, stuck on QFE/QNH/QNE and need to revisit signage as i glazed over most of it and did terrible on the end of chapter test.
Bagged an A20 Bluetooth headset on eBay for £800 practically new.
Next lesson 28/10. 3 more booked for November. I'm speaking to ATC in my next lesson and hopefully taxiing and taking off.
