Hello! First-time poster here after a bit of advice on re-starting learning after not one but two training breaks - the first was thirty years, the second eight months...
I took an ATC Flying Scholarship a long time ago at Tollerton, loved it, and then just couldn't afford to keep going. Finally decided that the time is right to learn again in 2017, and got a further 30 hours under my belt between then and autumn last year. Life then got in the way (new house, much renovation, much cost) and I had to stop for a further eight months. Now re-signed up and back to it again, and very much looking forward to getting back up there. I'm just a few miles from the lovely Compton Abbas (and learning there), so watching their aircraft fly overhead has been torture! Beautiful place to fly from
Any suggestions as to what I ought to expect as a re-learner, what I ought to concentrate on or ask for? Aim is to finally get that PPL before I hit 50 in November!
Cheers
Colin
