Hi! Well done currymonster. I have to say that dont just stay at your airfield....go exploring take off round the country literally.... Challenge yourself. I passed my Skills Test last December 6 months exactly (2 days ago) and since then I have visited about 16 other airfields from just south of the Wash to Perranporth. And there is nothing more challenging the working out and doing the joining procedures for an unfamiliar airfield. E.g....we went into Shoreham (G-RSFT) and we had 5 in the circuit...i was doing slow flying (65kts with 1 stage of flaps on the downwind) so as not to catch up with the Piper Cub 500m in front and we were cleared to land at about 30ft So you learn new stuff every day!!


Good Luck
