I said I would post a follow up to my desperate low last week, failing my PPL skills test. Well........I passed it yesterday!!
What a relief. Last week I just got too damn nervous about the whole thing and blew it on the first Nav leg. this time around I just had to adopt the attitude of not giving a sh*t. It helped me, I know people have their own ways of coping with nerves but this will have to be mine going forward. this just means that I've got to get my licence back from the CAA in approx 14 days in order to go to South Africa as planned at the end of the month....what do you think my chances are? Can you still go in person to present your application??
Anyway, there is a moral somewhere but I'm too consumed with relief at passing that I can't put my finger on it just yet. To all those who are in the slumps of self doubt, heads up because it does feel great when you do get it right. I hate failure but I really think this time it helped me to perform better.
Onwards and upwards...........................
