However, get some hours under your belt with more experienced pilots as soon as you can after your PPL - you will be amazed at how quickly your skill level will continue to improve IF you follow this course.
Fuji,are you saying fly with another more experienced pilot in the cockpit or fly in company?
I was told by my CFI that when I get the licence I should spend some time on my own,remembering and practising all the skills I had just learned before I started to take passengers.
He also recommended, all through my flying life always to practice all the things that maybe some pilots don't like, such as ,incipient spins ,PFL's,stalls,etc , so that when they happen there is less risk of a panic type reaction.
