Fresh from admitting on another thread that I failed my initial skills test.....

I've just passed the 100 hours P1 and 200 hours total marks. I always used to imagine that by now I'd be able to relax a bit more in the aircraft... but oh no! I seem to tense my legs during every flight involuntarily. Always wake up the next morning feeling like I've walked up the stairs in a tall building.

Spent two whole days last weekend refusing to take off from an airport in the Alps because of cloud. I watched a couple of other guys from the UK leap in and go, but I could not bring myself to get airborne!

As for stalls, steep turns etc. I only very recently felt I could try one of these without an instructor sitting next to me.

Call me chicken..... I don't care!
