I passed my GFPT on 17/1, and the Testing Officer was literally ticking (and crossing mind you!) the back of the application form, which I guess is how they know they've covered everything.

I actually failed my first test on 9/1 due to absolutely losing it in the circuit... VERY disappointing.. I just baulked my flapless and short field landings .. Too high on approach which resulted in a go around or too low on base (be established at 500'+ AGL on final!) I guess not having done a circuit lesson or any solo practice in the circuit since April last year didn't help. Spent too much time getting everything right in the training area which did pay off.

Just make sure you know how to answer/do everything thats on the back of the form and you can't go wrong and good luck if you haven't alreay passed
