Have any of you made any rookie mistakes, that you're willing to admit to :P, like that before?
Yep, Have a look at the thread I started "Confession time - who has had a prang". I've admitted my worst one about forgetting which rudder to use there....Also, on first solo I forgot to do my pre take off checks and didn't tell the Tower I was about to enter the active runway...
Completely cocked up a glide approach onto our grass strip the other day - all the signs of the impending stall were there...I just failed to pick them up! My Instructor had to grab control PDQ!
From one student to another, good luck with your PPL! Aslo, best of luck with your Naval career.
