Unhappy Grounded

I'm hanging up my goggles. I do love flying, but I don't have the time or money to fly regularly enough to consider myself safe. In the 2.5 years I've had my PPL I think I've flown about 6 hours P1 and only several more hours dual. Even the tailwheel conversion has taken me 1.5 years so far.

It's a difficult decision to make. It's incredibly frustrating to look at my log book and see the months in between each entry. Whenever I get into an aircraft I remember the basics, but the navigation, R/T and emergency procedures are all a bit of a haze. I've talked to my PPL instructor about this & he just brushes it off, saying I'll have no problems, but I know my abilities... or lack of.

I'll still hang around here and maybe one day I'll start again. But for now I'll just have to dream.
