Hello all
Lasham is a little too far but cotswold is pretty close so i will convince my parents too allow me to fly the glider however I recall having that conversation before and they said just keep flying powered aircraft but I will ask them again.:)
Many thanks
Adam

I also have keen question
When at 3,000ft they release you do you have to stay close to the perimeter of the airport and do you have a certain gliding speed.
Kind regards
Adam

Saw the engineers being trained on the Technam on Tuesday. Looks smart indeed and INTACT. Probably wont stay like that for very long...

That's great Adam. I hope you get lots of flying and have a good time there.

Adam, I hope you have a super duper Flight Sim gig at home complete with yoke and throttle quadrant running on at least a dual SLI? Will save both you and your dad a fortune!

Flight Sims go a long way towards teaching one how all the various flight parameters are related (speed, pitch, VS, alt, temperature, pressure). There will be a selection on here who will cringe at what I'm telling you...by telling you Flight Sim teaches bad habits. Yes there are some undesired habits one may develop from over indulging in Flight Sim but nothing that can't be undone. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Practise makes perfect and this is a vital tool, so invest by spending the cost of at least 2 lessons into suitable hardware, if you haven't already!

Hi there
Thanks for your response
Yes I do have a flightsim and I am a bit embaraced to say this but my instructor did noticed I observe the instruments a bit too much during flight. Which came from a lot of flight simulator I have played. Well now unfortunately it's the time of exams and my flight simulator has been switched of for the past few weeks and I hope in that time I can get out of the habit on observing the instruments although I can't wait until the holidays when I can go back to flight sim but I will try not to observe the instruments so much this time.:) I already know how to do an ils landing aswell as visual landings but I think i will get suitable hardware.

Thanks piper classique I still did not get a response from them but I hope they will accept my application.

Kind regards

Adam
