Well Done Captain

Congratulations on the pass, on what looks to have been a rather ‘sporting’ day. Now the fun, and the learning, really starts. Enjoy your flying, you have earned it.

At a hundred hours you think you know it all.
At five hundred hours you know you know it all.
At five thousand hours you know you’ll never know it all.

Safe Flying,
Richard W.

My PPL skills test was October 27 1978, but I still remember the excitement when the examiner said "congratulations you are now a private pilot"

Now the fun begins, Enjoy !

congratulations you are now a private pilot
He was polite!

My rotary examiner said: "OK, you just went from being a good student to a p*ss awful PPL".

Not that I minded in the least.

Congrats to aerofoil1!

Congratulations, I also had my (successful) test earlier this week, and around the same area as yourself, derby-Wolverhampton-Crewe-TNT.

I was due to go up this morning but it was just too gusty, so to have your test
in today's conditions must have been some challenge and a well deserved pass congratulations.

The application is going in the post tomorrow, fingers crossed for Xmas eh!

From: Derby,
Yes based at derby, what about yourself. I've been learning in a 152 (for sometime now)and want to get used the club 172, hopefully this Sunday.

Supposed to also be going on first solo since passing tomorrow morning but looks like the wind will put a stop to that. For the time being just going to get used to flying alone and then taking some friends and family up. Possibly even a spot of night flying.

Do you have any plans at the moment? And have you managed to get the application off, mine went thismorning. Hoping to get it back before Xmas

Thumbs up

Pistol
My 1st lesson was at derby and most of my training was done there including 1st solo never forget that day pulled off the smoothest landing ever I was planning on getting it down in one piece
So that was a bonus!
Am sending off the application on Friday hopefully get it back before Xmas although I'm nor planning to fly until after Xmas anyway gave kids presents to buy!
Then just take my friends and family get some experience visit as many airfields as possible! If could get sponsorship I'd like my cpl
Watch the trees at derby on 23 ! Always get your attention is a good club thou
Will prob see u around sometime
Again congrats !
