Taking the next step !!
I've recently gained my PPL and now looking forward to touring. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous about it. In the past I've always flown routes with an instructor first. Now I'm going to be flying from Yorkshire throughout the country, landing at new places and speaking to different ATC.
How have other people found this transition? Hopefully just a question of confidence. I always fully plan any trip but find it difficult knowing who to talk to and whether I can transit controlled airspace (obviously with permission) or to just avoid it.
