First solo, excellent stuff!
If I may say so to other posters, I have been really quite surprised about some of the questions I see on here and in other forums from established PPLs asking questions that are indeed part of the basic PPL Air Law syllabus. But I am also glad that they do. Of course, the regulations change with some frequency, but what I've found in the month or so since I passed the exam is that there's an awful lot of stuff I can't remember from then. I am not sure I could pass it now. And I doubt many other could either without some revision.
There's both a problem and a benefit with exams. While you might not be able to remember the precise definitions or regulations, you do know that there's something about it in the regs, so you can always look it up. Maybe that's the point.
I am delighted that Callum passed his Air Law and has done his solo. I remember 30 odd years ago going up with my buddy from school who'd passed his PPL when he was 16 as a result of a CCF/RAF scholarship, and I've harboured ambitions since then which only became stronger. Not sure if my folks would've approved of our little trip had they known.
With today's risk-averse mentality, it is a breath of fresh air that younger people aren't always mollycoddled these days, something which so often stifles the key values of accomplishment, ambition, responsibility and accountability, skills that aviation fundamentally encapsulates.
Blimey I'm starting to sound like some kind of life-coach.
Cheers, Howard
