Hi Guys

I really enjoyed this thread, couldn't stop reading, although I am supposed to be working I am currently doing my PPL in Namibia and I can only recommend that, especially because of the weather. Clouds? I don't even know what that is anymore, although some rain would be great (I never thought that I, as a European, would say that some time). Sometimes it's too much wind, but in general you don't have to worry too much about the weather conditions, which is quite a relieve when I compare it to the experiences of most of you.

I have finished the circuits by now, but didn't start with cross country flights yet, hopefully next week. Today I'm going on my own to the General Flying Area the first time and will try to improve my forced and precautionary landings. I am especially struggeling with the precautionary landings, does anyone have some advice on that?

I am also quite scared of the nav exercises, because here everything looks somehow the same from above, and there are almost no big cities to help you find you way. But I guess I'll manage somehow.

Enjoy the flying!
