Thank you!!
Thank you for all your kind words, sorry I have not been able to reply to your questions soon enough. I am now back home and been suffering from jet lag or just being really lazy.
I did have to pay 400 and odd pounds for my partial. And you are correct that if I noticed my mistake on the navigation sector in time and rectified it, I may have passed first time.
Like I did my cpl in 12 days I would not recommend doing it in such a short period of time. Don't get me wrong I loved every minute of it thanks to matt and eft. It's just I didn't get a seconds break from it. But I wanted to get it done asap.
I am now at a cross road and hoping you guys will be able to help. I have yet to do my IR. But I spoke to the owner at eft who was very kind to say that if I did my instructors rating I may get a job with them. So the question is IR or instructors rating?
I have been given the go ahead to write an article based on my cpl for a flying magazine. So am looking forward to doing that.
