That is the advice I have been given.
I may have posted this somewhere before,but my very experienced CFI told me that when I eventually get the licence, not to be in a rush to take family and pals up for a spin.
Much better he said,to have 10-15 hours on my own learning the area and building up confidence with occassional trips with an instructor to improve skills and performance.
Wishing you years of happy and trouble free flying.
