....but I had my first proper lesson today at Barton!!
Went well, pretty bumpy, but did plenty of straight and level, pre + post flight checks and seemed to go ok. Surprisingly - for me - I seemed to remember lots of exercise 3 and 4 as well from the trial flight and was very pleased when the instructor told me that I should have no problem in progressing quite quickly. Maybe they say that to everyone!
Anyway, looking forward to next weekend when I am back in for more. Just reading Mazzy's first couple of hours seems to map over nicely to what I have done so far - so far so good!
One question - what books did people use for your ground school exams? I bought Pratt today, only to be told by my instructor that she now hates them and much prefers Trevor Thom. I'll be swapping Pratt for TT next week when they get it in. I have got TT book 2 as well - Air Law and Meterology. It does seem to be set out far clearer than the Pratt book.
Cheers!
