Congratulations Aerbabe, I'm sure it was worth all the time, effort and money.

Do you intend to progress onto commerical flying, or just stay with a PPL?

Now is the time to start learning, you have been taught to fly but now is the time to put it into practise. Start by simple pleasure flights, take a friend up over their house. Once you are comfortable, then start doing landaways. Don't try and do it all at once.

If I had to give one piece of advice from my own (limited) experience, it would be - fly with a purpose. Don't 'just go flying', make sure you arrive at the airfield with an idea of what you are go to do, even if its only going for a local to the north.

Remember the P's - Pre-flight Planning Prevents Pi$$-Poor Performance.

Oh, and enjoy yourself, but thats three pieces of advice.

I've reached that PPL plus 50 hours stage, where things are beginning to pall, and I need more money to go further afield. Any ideas on how to beat the 50-hours blues?
