pfft how do u guys let this thread drop off the frontpage?

Well after weeks of doing sweet fa I finally managed to go flying!

I wanted to go and practice some PFLs with my instuctor, so as to get them spick and span before my retest but due to one of the other instructors not being able to come in today, my instructor was pretty much double booked every slot today. My flight was looking less probable when it was suggested that I could just take the a/c out myself. Well theres only one answer to THAT question. 30mins later I was in the air

Manged to do 3 PFLs, two were good, one wasn't. Also tried to do 2 others but stopped em both, due to an a/c appearing out of no where and then my headsets ANR running out of batteries (the lesson learnt the hard way, I will carry spares from now on!) I took the headset thing and the lowering vis to be a hint and so headed for home. Was a good flight, really enjoyed it, flying solo really reminds you why were doing this flying lark. Hope you all had a decent day today.

Blue skies for the rest of the weekend(and week hopefully!! )
