Thumbs up

I waited a day or so to consider my reply and everyone else has said what I would have done by now. I'd just add:

1) Flying is all about learning. You are learning now and you will continue to learn. Somwhere in this learning process you will get a PPL. You may go on and get other ratings - its a continuous process with satisfying milestones passed rather than goals in the future.

2) As a student, I found it difficult to judge my own progress. Anytime you get a chance, hitch a ride with someone else. Either a qualified PPL or, if the club will allow it, ride in the back of another student's lesson (and don't forget to return the favour). You'll soon see that other pilots aren't so different. You'll also discover that its easy to observe and analyse your own mistakes when you see someone else doing the same.
