I too learned at East Mids Flying School, and my QXC, a few years ago now, was EMA/Turweston/Cambridge/EMA. I too had to find Cambridge all on my own, being told it was a mandatory part of the QXC to fly into an airport I had never been to before.

Was I told a fib??

Congratulations. You went from CXQ to skills test very quick, you must be very dedicated. It'll be interesting to hear what you get up to in the hours coming.

It's one of those hobbies that gets better and better. I passed 2 and half years ago now. I too had to speed my course up toward the end as a friend and I had an Ikarus C42 coming. I know I could have done my microlight course for the C42 but I was already way down the JAR PPL route. I'm now flying an RV6 which I took to Spain in the summer. There's so much to do after passing it's great. I'm now on 500hrs and still as keen as day 1. Again well done.

Where did you do the course.
