Real shame about the CPL

Plenty of fun to be had flying without one though!
My club has a 'one take off and landing within the last month to fly with a passenger' rule. Very sensible! I don't get to fly particularly often, as I'm a student, and have to work in my spare time to pay for it. I tend to not fly for a few weeks, and then do two or three flights within a couple of weeks - feels like I'm making more progress that way! If I don't manage to fly for more than a few weeks, I do notice that I have to think about what I'm doing a bit more. Guess it depends on what kind of flying you want to do - whether you're happy buzzing round the local area, or whether you want to go cross-channel, or something equally adventurous!
Have fun
