I started this late into my training to keep a record of my flying and to look back to see what I have achieved. I'm currently on exercise 13a & b, the circuit, landings, xwind control all in preparation for my first solo. This week I have my first cross country if u class Shoreham to Goodwood (13nm) cross country!! This is all for my first solo in case I have to divert which is amazing and interesting. I'm in my early stages of flying and only 14 hours down so I know I have a long way to go to get what I have been looking into.... a share in a Cirrus to gaining hours in prep to get my cpl!!
ok, so where am I at?? Ive just had a lesson with 5 touch and go's with a cross wind. Landing at EGKA on 20(L) with 12kt xwind can be fun and interesting, not only do u have to control power, height, speed but also a cross control with rudder and opposite aileron. ok, i understand the physics of it from day one but flying it is all part of gaining more experience to gaining my ppl and setting up for my first solo. So I'm at 13 touch and gos and I'm ready, that's right I'm ready for my first solo if the day came tomorrow. Im the person who would say to myself "Am i ready?" that's the first part of being a pilot, is being safe for yourself, others and the aircraft. If in doubt, never question it, DON'T FLY!! This is from either the aircraft itself, weather or the human performace of the pilot themselves.
I am in possesion (July 2011) of my “European” JAR PPL which allows pilots to fly a variety of aircraft with the opportunity to upgrade the license with various additional ratings. This proves to be the most popular licence applied for due to its range of benefits offered upon completion. The PPL allows the private pilot to recreationally explore Europe and fly a wider range of aircraft compared to the NPPL. It is also the first flying course you need to embark on to become a commercial pilot.
