Passed PPL Skill Test!
Just a quick note, to say there is another Private Pilot in the skies! I am 17....just...and passed my JAR PPL on Saturday the 15th of July! aged 17 and a week with 45.1hrs. Dead Chuffed. Only just started driving! ;)
Any Advice, I'm keen to hear..I already realise that i have the licence, but i still feal there are many unanswered questions and an unlimited amount of experience yet to be gained! Cheers guys...had to get it out! Sam Kidd |
Well done mate !
All the "grey beards" will tell you that you're just about to start learning, and I suppose they're right - that's why they've earned their beards, I guess ! My advice : enjoy it, be a little frightened of it, but not too frightened to try new things as you feel ready ... and don't forget to read the rather quaintly titled "GA Courting" thread - at 17 you've got to be in with a shout at that ! Good luck to you, I hope our paths cross (on the ground :eek: ) at some time ! Cheers, FF :ok: |
Chicks dig pilots. Fact.
Why then, do I always pretend to be a Penguin Psychologist or somesuch when out on the razzle? |
TrafficControl,
Well done matey, I passed my skills test on Friday at Bournemouth. Have to admit it was a bit of an anti climax after the terror of my cross country qualifier!! I totally couldn't see Exeter, started to get a bit worried even more so after Radar asked me to report field in sight and I heard my little squeaky voice saying " oh yes I can see you" (lying b*****d) Pottered up to Exeter and finally saw the field as I got half way downwind!! Good luck for the future TJF97 |
congrats!;)

well done mate :ok: , huge achivement :D glad to see you are enjoying your flying as well. I would offer to buy you a beer, but unfortunatly I would be breaking the law :( Where do you fly out of? :ok:
|
Thank you all for your kind comments :)
I Fly out of Wycombe air Park, with Wycombe Air centre. TJF97 congratulations to you too! :) Many thanks again! Sam |
trafficcontrol,
Congratulations and well done. My advice would be: enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself and errrr...enjoy yourself! There is a huge big world out there that has just got a little tad smaller - go and explore :) |
Only advice I would offer is to keep make sure you practice the things you do not like doing. e.g I used to have a worry about cross wind landings which I tried to avoid until I made myself do a bunch of circuits with a strong crosswind close to the published limit of my ageing PA28-140 (17 knots).
We only fear and avoid the unknown - so get to make the unknowns known (in the infamous words of Mr Rumsfeldt) Congratulations and well done |
