Thanks Lee
Just reached my first 'birthday' as a PPL, the year has gone roughly like this:
Good things: got checked out on a couple of new aircraft, taking friends (still got plenty of them to take up), finally got a trip outside NI, x-water check coming up, hoping to do my night rating next winter.
Not so good: Numerous attempts to get trips further afield haven't worked out, difficult to stay current on 3 different types, once or twice found myself just doing a few circuits to keep current, (un)availability of club aircraft (especially for trips).
Plan for the next 12 months is to get going places!!!
