Well, I've had my licence in my sweaty palms for just over 6 months, which means I can tell you about everything I've done

My first attempt at flying I took a friend, with CPL/IR, as pax. I was going to do some circuits, but the cloud came down to 800' by the time I reached the hold.

Second time I took FFF as pax, and we made it into the air. Kept local as the weather wasn't good enough to go far. Had an alternator failure (on my first flight as a proper Captain, how unfair!) but fortunately, as he says, he's used to them! Cheers hon xxx

Then went on an almost 2 hour x/c, down over Gloucester, and the Forest of Dean.

After that I stayed in the local area for a few hours, practising PFLs, radio nav, steep turns, etc.

Then I did a landaway at a strip I'd been to before.

Then it was the Popham fly-in.

And I've just got myself signed off to fly the Cherokee
Just, as in this morning.

Grand total: 11h 45 min.
