I am really enjoying the lessons and can hardly wait for the next one to come around.
I am using the flying school headsets at present but would like a set of my own, nothing to expensive but good quality. any suggestions.
I have checked out the medical section on colour blindness, but could some kind soul tell me if colour blindness will prevent me from obtaining my licence. Many thanks,

Leon, welcome, Im unsure of the PPL medical with ref to colour blindness, my advise, DO NOT pay out any further monies untill you have passed a CAA medical exam, and have it confirmed AOK from the CAA, another med's problem cost me £100'ssss before the CAA said NO
all is not lost though, abort the PPL and get a NPPL, not only does it just require your GP to sign the form, ( same as a LGV driver ) the other bonus being, fixed wing microlights, half the price to learn in, and subsquently
purchase / maintain, should you wish to.
