Just caught back up with this thread.
I have today done exercise 10 at Lomac Aviators and am more than satisifed with my time with them.
It is reassuring to see at least two posters praising Neil as instructor, he is my instructor and I am very happy with his method and personality.
Being retired I can take my lessons whenever I want and I have found Lomac and Neil to be most accommodating about when to reschedule a lesson if the weather is bad.
Today was the only time we have had a delay coming back into the zone and that delay was because of all the GA aircraft up in this great flying weather. The only other delays have been a couple of minutes at the hold waiting for landing commercials.
I must say as a totally 'newbie', there is something 'cool' about being cleared to land while an Easyjet or Ryanair waits at the hold for you
Air Law and Human Factors & Limitations passed so
only 5 more to go!
