3/4 way through PPL
Hi there, First time on the forum.
I am looking for some advice/ help with a situation i have or anyone who had a similar experience. I started my ppl a couple of years ago and have completed all the theory exams and got very far with the praticle flying stuff up to the navigation bits, about 40hrs.
However I had to take large breaks between doing it mainly because of cash problems and personal problems; and heres my issue I struggled to complete it because a divorce between my parents which has led to some other confidence problems, this was compounded with the fact that when i was training i would work late in to the night about 1 or 2 am and then get up early and go down to the field to do the lesson. Most days I was very exhausted but I continued on.
My main concern is that when i was training i feel i came across as a bit stuipd or as an arse and becuase i have taken so long to complete it and that i did struggle sometimes beacuse of the above reasons .I feel that if i return to complete it i will be given a hard time. Also Furthermore I had the unfortunate experience of my instructor leaving half way through my ppl. I was then assigned a new one which i asked to change because of a communication problem. And At £130/hr i wanted the best i could get. This didn't go down well. I aslo felt that there was no personal service at the school and really they were just after my money. I always wanted to get good debriefs after the lesson and somtimes there was never the chance to because of fast student turnarounds. The school I train at is a highly respected one and with all my troubles on top and should i go back with how they percieve. How should i handle them?
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience in fouling up their initial training so badly?? or could give me advice on how to return to it?
Any Advice would be very much appreciated thanks.
