First of all i had my trial lesson yesterday at Newcastle Internatiojnal Airport and all i can say is..................WOW ABSOLOTELY FANTASTIC.
The instructor let me taxi the plane to the holding point and then after takeoff i flew the plane for 45minutes up past Blyth, Morpeth, Rothbury and back towards newcastle. I didnt realise how good the experience would be when sharing a runway with big airliners. Im definately starting the course next month.
Anyway, we were cruising at 3,500 and once we were beginning to descend the instructor adjusted the altimeter manually to 2,400 feet. I was just wondering what the point of this was because it didnt cross my mind until i got back home.
Also, not related to the lesson, i was wondering if anyone could tell me where i can get second hand headsets without being 18 or over. Tried e-bay but thats no good and tried local ad papers.
Thanks
