To chip in with my hard luck story:
Failed 1:1 decided that I couldn't be that bad a pilot and also couldn't face the mandatory 5hrs training so went for 1:2
No safety net with 1:2 so I made my mistake and missed that too. However I was only required to do 1 flight ( 1:30) and another 170a before series 2
No worries with series 2 - got it in one.
That's not the law ( 5hrs is mandatory ) but just to let you know that they don't ALWAYS apply it if your flying is actually up to standard.
It's a tough call and as the others have said it's up to you and what you think of your performance. Is your flying up to standard but you just overlooked something or do you think you could use the practice?
Final comment - if you thought you were under pressure for 1:1 just wait for 1:2!
no partial really makes you sweat.
Nice to know that 13/15 sponsored students didn't get it first time. I know I felt really down after not passing - half the battle was just to keep my faith in myself.
Good luck,
N.
Good luck.
