G'day,

Thank you for the tips & advice, really nice to see my fellow aviators helping me out.

My current instructor is a Grade 3, I thought that was a good thing! is grade 3 not the highest level? and grade 1 the lowest or have I missed something?

My aim is to train towards a GFTP, and then PPL, that is as far as I want to go right now, I couldn't see my self flying at night or in instrument conditions! I will leave that for the professionals

I have another lesson midweek!

Thank you for the reply's about headwind it sort of makes more sense now

Going a bit off topic! my mum asked me a question the other day and I could not answer! perhaps someone here knows?? obviously a propeller spins around and creates the thrust which makes you move along on ground and in the air, but on the Qantas planes they don't have propellers so what is creating the thrust? is there a hidden propeller you just cant see it??

Many thanks to everyone for support
