Good luck on the mocks and even better luck on the real thing Mazzy. I have followed the thread from the start with total envy :)
This forum thread has inspired me to get on with the diet and shed the rest of the weight I need to get anywhere near "flying weight". At 23st7lb I have a LONG way to go (lost 1 st 7lb so far) and hope that you will all continue to post on the forum long past Mazzys undoubted sucess, purely as the spark of inspiration and motivation to others that the thread has become. Plan Z Z plural Z alpha has me starting next year, fingers crossed. Good luck to all of you already on your way to gaining your PPLs :) |
Managed to pass the met exam this morning,so that's one less to worry about.
Re weight loss,I manged to lose 15 kilos last year just by walking for an hour each day and just eating a bit less,no stupid faddish diets which don't really work ,nothing stringent just one slice of toast instead of two etc. I'm hoping to get some flying in over the weekend,probably my first land away at Cambridge. Lister:) |
g0kmt - welcome aboard my friend - good to have you posting!
I think the key word here is 'inspiration'. I remember many moons ago, I was pondering over whether to save up enough money to complete the PPL, or just start it with what I had. I made a post in the private flying section, to which I received a lot friendly, positive responses, saying that I should go for it and start flying - basically, a kick up the arse, and that if I didn't start then I would always be messing about trying to save etc. So I did - and here I am, nearly complete! Lister - another hurdle of many - well done! Like I say, my mock test is on Thursday, so I can 100% guarantee that it will snow, rain, hail and be generally blizzard like conditions all day! Lee :ok: |
....Had the QXC planned for today, but in the end I was beaten by the weather. What was incredibly annoying was that within an hour of it being cancelled, the cold front had passed and the weather was clear :{ Oh well, that's flying in the UK I guess. QXC, now booked for a fortnight's time. In the meantime, it's practice, practice, practice....
Looks like Lister's been going great guns. How many more exams do you have to do? |
Wow,what a day,started grey with rain and very windy,the front went through then a sunny clear day although wind was always strong.
I've had around 2hrs 30 mins flying with the CFI, including landings at Cambridge and Norwich,a MATZ penetration at Lakenheath and had four USAF F15 Eagles go over our head 3000 feet above us,they looked huge for fighters. I also had some practice diversions with no planning,just eyeballing it and estimating heading with windspeed. It was very windy on approach back home and gusting up to 30knots on finals but straight up the runway,even so quite a handful. I said to the CFI "I might need a hand here !" but he told me to see how I got on,I managed most of it but it was very turbulent at 50 feet and I felt his re-assuring touch on the controls. The Stearman was out flying today and it took two of us to hold it back against the tailwind on the ground outside the hangar before we chocked it,it was some wind! A solo nav exercise tomorrow then my first solo landaway at Cambridge,either tomorrow or Sunday. I have now passed the Air law,Human performance,Meteo and Navigation exams. I have Aircraft technical,Aircraft performance and R/T left to do. I thought the aircraft subjects were one exam but now understand they are two seperate ones. I find the Airquiz site most helpful combined with reading and doing the exercises at the back of the books. Now quite tired, but we are out to dinner tonight so I should sleep well!!!! Lister:) |
the cold front had passed and the weather was clear Oh well, that's flying in the UK I guess. A few mates and I have been trying to do a group fly-in thingo to a nice little airfield down the coast from here for the last three months - each time we try the weather turns to crap on us so we can it... twice it's cleared up a few hours after we called and cancelled our aircraft bookings. Try again next week! |
Well done Lister, as I said, sounds like you're getting on really well. Good luck with the rest of the exams.
For me, well, no flying yesterday coz of the weather, and today whilst doing my checks, one of the mags starts playing up, so again no flying. However, my instructor has a Pitts, so we jump into that and head off, and what great fun we had doing loops etc. After a while he let me have a go at some flix rolls - me little 'ol me, I was dead chuffed. I must admit that I was feeling a bit sick tho' so we headed back. But what an excellent morning after all. C23 |
Lovely day,blue skies ,little cloud and lightish winds.Lots of interesting aircraft in and out of Old Buckenham today,hopefully a sign of Spring around the corner?
Did an hours solo nav in Norfolk and Suffolk,it was great to be on my own again,all went well and according to the plan,completed with a 90 degree crosswind landing, but ten knots so not too demanding. Tomorrow is my first land away at Cambridge wearther permitting. Lister:) |
No land away at Cambridge as vis not too good,maybe better luck next week.
So we spent an hour at 2500ft in cloud using the Clacton VOR and Norwich ADF ,very interesting and time well spent. Even so,I've logged 4.5 hrs in the air this weekend. Lister:) |
Great to see so much decent flying going on - a flight in the Pitts eh, I would love that (then again I would love a flight in everything, something which cannot be achieved) :{
Still looking good for me on Thursday so got a lot of reflective concentration to do, so I can make sure I get things right :8 :ok: |
Sra
I had a bit of a problem yesterday on my first land away to Cambridge, the visibility was excellent with some scattered cloud at 1500 ft.
Approaching Cambridge from the east I could not locate the airfield, I over flew Cambridge and although I knew where it should be, I was concerned about the patchy lowish cloud and thought it best not to fly around hoping to locate the airfield in busy airspace. I called Cambridge and explained my problem, the tower asked me to squawk and gave me an SRA bearing to steer for the airfield, I ended up at the airfield and had a trouble free landing. The Tower was very helpful and I think (hope) I was calm re the SRA guidance. After landing the tower spoke to me and asked what the problem had been and I explained that my navigation had been spot on to Cambridge but I just could not see the airfield, although I must have flown almost over the top of it! I was told that it happens about once every weekend and was asked to call my instructor before I departed to make sure they were happy for me to continue the exercise. They were happy and so was I, and the rest of the flight worked out according to plan including a MATZ penetration over Lakenheath. When I got back I was half expecting some sort of talking to but not at all, I was de-briefed at length and told that I had done exactly the right thing, if in doubt don’t fly around hoping it will all somehow work out OK. So how do I feel about it all? I am a bit disappointed ,feeling a bit low and it has dented my confidence, not so much in my navigation, which has been spot on to date, but in my awareness of the terrain. I told my instructor I would like to do the Cambridge trip again although not to land, I think it will restore my faith in myself. He does not think it necessary but said if it made me happier then it is no problem but it will just cost me a bit more, although I need the solo hours anyway. I spoke to a friend who is an airline pilot also ex instructor ,he told me I had done the right thing and that it happens to everyone sooner or later so it was good experience. Lister |
Lister, your flight just proves that things can and DO go wrong. Don't feel bad about it, the best plans flown by the best pilots will not always go as we think and you handled the situation well. Don't knock yourself about it. Good job.
Mazzy, any more flying yet? |
Remember me??
Hi everyone,
It seems that I've not posted here for ages though I've not had much to say really!! I last flew on the 22nd December when I got my solo landaway in the bag (EMA/Turweston/back to EMA via Podington. All went fine, and subsequently waited for a break in the weather for my QXC. The break never came - every slot booked was canned through low cloud etc etc. Then it was Xmas/New Year, and then hols for a couple of weeks (Caribbean), back on Saturday last. I'm pleased I didn't book anything this week, 'cos the jet lag is really killing me, and flying would not be a good idea in this state (don't know why it's got to us this time, we arn't generally affected) It does make me wonder how long haul pilots get on though!. Now I'm off to Spain for the rest of the week (business), so can't do anything until next week, AND of course I'm now out of landaway currency, as well as stalling/PFL etc!! I'm booked for a couple of hours next Tuesday to regain currency on these things, and get in some circuits to get me up to speed, and HOPEFULLY get my QXC done next Thursday. I'll believe it when I see it!! I've got my medical renewal on saturday, at least that shouldn't be canned by the weather. Good luck all CF |
Chequeredflag, this is exactly what happened to me. Got my solo landaway in at Lydd on 23rd Dec, and then nothing for a month. Grounded due to weather, Aeroplane going tec (twice), and no slots available. Thenof course as you say out of currency.
However, unlike you I didn't go suning myself in the Caribbean (sounds good), and went flying on Saturday. So, I now have my QXC booked for this Thursday. Redhill-Goodwood-Southend-Redhill. I'll report back in due course. |
Yet again I am overwhelmed at how this thread is still going strong, even with my severe lack of input - thank you all :cool:
I did manage to get my mock test done (it's more of a "this is what you'll do on your real test" than a mock really). We did everything, including a successful nav, but I won't go into detail tonight - more tomorrow! My MSN and Skype links should be uner my prune name now, so if anyone would like to join the party, feel free to send the invite :) :ok: |
Quickest of quick posts - my computers knackered for now, so have to rely on school to keep up to date!
Great to see all the progress, congrats everyone! For those grounded - bad luck! I symathise, very annoying eh. Hope you all get up soon! I'm currently at the landaway stage - got two solo landaways planned and then it's the QXC! Planning on getting met and nav. exams done soon, so currently studying for them! Good luck everyone. John. |
Right then - mock test/GST walkthrough.......
With all the recent happenings in the family, it felt like an eternity since I last flew. When I arrived, my instructor was out flying, and he had left me this instruction: "Take us to Lichfield". Lichfield is a small disused airfield on the north west tip of Birmingham - I thought it was quite a long leg, pretty much the same distance as the first leg of my QXC. This was an area I had not flow in precisely before, so I would have to pay special attention to features along the way (Crewe, Telford etc). The wind was 25 knots and from the north east, so it would be a slow initial leg. The vis was, well, rubbish - the corona effect of the sun was apparent, and this was to prove highly problematic later on. I done all the planning - which was minimal to be honest, one leg and a return plan. I knew he would throw us off course for some dead reckoning so I wasn't worrying about the return journey too much. When we got about two thirds of the way down he said: "Ok, take us to Welshpool". I found it on the map and my initial thought was: "(insert four letter expletive here) that's a long way off!" It was about 50nm. He took control whilst I drew the line on the chart and estimated a heading to fly based on the wind. Bearing in mind that the length of your thumb from tip to first joint is approximately 10nm and 7 minutes flying time on a 1:50,000 chart, I gave him my estimations and off we went. When we turned onto the new heading, we had our first shock (well I did). Couldn't see a thing. The sun was dead ahead and the mist/haze meant that we could only see what was directly below us - meaning I had to work extra hard. I think the flight would have been considered legal for a PPL as we were not in any cloud and could see the ground - but anyone flying solo without training in this would be a fool. I contacted Shawbury for a FIS and MATZ penetration without hitch and to my surprise, we were actually tracking exactly as intended, picking out features close by as we went. Welshpool is located (near or in I think - Neil will know?) a valley, so once we had this in sight, my instructor was happy with everything, it was time to do some radio nav. He said: "Take us to Sleap". "Great" I thought, Sleap is hard enough to find in full VFR, never mind in these conditions! However, to my relief, I remembered that Sleap has an NDB on the airfield, to which I promptly tuned into, identified, tested and followed (TITS !!). Before that though, I was asked to give a couple of position fixes using the VOR, which again went very well. After a few minutes - Sleap was dead ahead and as we turned overhead, I was asked to climb to 3000 feet for some upper air work. My feelings at this point were relief and excitement, as the Nav had finished and handling was about to begin - something of which I have not done in a long time, after all this navigation training! First thing's first - stalling. Carb heat on, power at idle, ailerons level, apply enough back pressure to maintain height (not go up or down) and keep level with the rudder. "RECOVER" Nose down, full power, carb heat off (I forgot this the first time) and climb away. I was a little too gentle on the first attempt, having remembered my first attempt at stalls about a year ago, when on the recovery, I shoved the controls forward, and as the centre of pressure shot backwards to the trailing edge of the wing (I hope you are still up to scratch on your theory ladies and gentlemen!!) the aircraft literally took a dive, and our heads hit the top of the canopy. In the Tomahawk, simply by removing the backward pressure on the controls, is enough to get the nose down to a recoverable position. A few more later, including with flaps etc and it was onto steep turns. These went well - always remember to apply power as you turn, not once fully developed - I was duly notified! A couple of rate turns (15 degree turn through 90 degrees should take 30 seconds I think (off the top of my head)) later and an attempt at a PFL (the visibility was shocking, and kept losing the field - may need to do one or two of these again) and I was asked to take us home, using only local knowledge for navigation. This wasn't a problem, as we were pretty much over Wrexham, so it was a case of heading north for a rejoin at Chester. The approach was exciting actually - we were asked to keep it tight, having been given number one with a 737 on long final. The approach was diagonal all the way to over the numbers - very strange indeed! A successful landing and debrief, followed. My next flight will be a couple of PFL's with a solo on the end (I opted for solo circuits to keep up to scratch). Until then, thanks for reading. Lee :ok: |
Hey mate only just joined these forums, but great topic. I'm about 30 hours into my ppl but havent flown since July, so reading your earlier posts is good revision! Sounds like you're blazing ahead with it, should have no trouble with the test, look forward to reading about that! Cheers
Waldo |
Mazzy
Sounds good - and quite tough! Did you do any recovery from spiral dives?* The other area I was tested on was slow flying. Bimbling about at 60kts (IIRC) and also climbing at that speed. Otherwise good luck in the coming days when you do it for real. *I hadn't practiced for this either, but it came up in the test. So I did what I thought was appropriate: throttle back (carb heat on), wings level, pull back to level flight. |
I flew on Saturday with the CFI, practising glide approaches,power failure after take off and aborted take off's,and had hoped to get some more nav exercises in yesterday but vis was not too good.
But a bonus is that I passed the aircraft general exam this morning,which leaves just aircraft performance which I will take on Thursday and R/T which a few of us students will do as a group at the club, when we fix up an appropriate tutor/examiner. I'm now thinking and talking seriously about what to do after I actually have the licence,I'm very keen to be involved with vintage stuff and offers of local groups and aircraft are being made and it is all becoming very exciting. Lister:) :) :) |
Waldo - good to have you with us! Hope you can keep us updated with how you get on :ok:
I reckon I will be having my test in about 4 weeks (pending a few things) so am looking forward to that :\ |
Completed QXC today!
Wel, I finally did it, after 2 non-starters due to weather.
But, almost a non-go today. Having planned Redhill-Goodwood-Southend-Redhill, there was too much cross-wind to land at Southend. So, Redhill-Sandown-Rochester-Redhill instead. Lovely clear skies, and not too much trouble from the wind aloft. So, great viz, but will I spot the two grass airfields?! Yep, sure did, and without too much effort - I must be getting better. Two concerns on the way: (1) I had the wrong frequency for Sandown -yep I used the freq from the 2004 Pooley's, but when it was all too quiet, a quick check on the map revealed all - one to remember in future. Concern number2 was the light. I had agreed a turn-back point with my instructor, and got there with 5 mins to spare. Still, all in all, a lovely flight. Portsmouth harbour looked fantastic with the sun glinting off the water. So, some revision to do now and then the skills test. Safe and happy flying all. C23:) |
Cricket - superb mate! What a great feeling eh? I was made up doing my QXC - I remember sitting in the briefing room a few months beforehand and thinking "How the hell wil I ever do that"?! Yet here we are, nearly qualified!
It's strange how we have to do Nav again in the test, having passed the QXC, which is the real navigation test - what are people's views on this? Would you rather it be a general handling/safety check for your skill test or do you agree with the current requirements? Cheers, Lee :ok: |
Well, I am seeing my instructor tomorrow evening to make a plan of action, and it could very well be that I take my skills test within a few weeks or so...
We will basically decide whether there is anything else I need to do (got 40 mins solo left) and discuss whether I am happy to proceed with test etc. I have been reading up on the AFE book about the PA38 - it includes all the notes for ground calculations like weight and balance etc, and this will be a good revision for the "day" ! |
Wow!!! Go for it Maz. But does that mean this thread will end? The Private Flying forum just won't be the same without Mazzy's thread. :(
|
Well, I was thinking of renaming it to:
"From Zero to 45 - THE PPL Diary" If BRL permits this of course :ok: |
I have been reading through the CAA website, and came accross this: http://www.caa.co.uk/application.asp...detail&id=1206
It's a PDF document detailing the skill test etc - a worthy read for anyone taking their test! I spent an evening at the flying school last week, going over things with my instructor. I am booked in for this Saturday to go over a PFL and only have to do 15 mins solo before the test (which is booked)! So, hoping to get a writeup done for you by Sunday :ok: |
Well done on the qxc Lee, you will pass GFT no probs so just go for it...
Regards All |
I hope so tek - we shall see :eek:

That's good Lister - it leaves you open to options if you want to add ratings or take your PPL further - good on ya ;)

It's good to be back...
Hello all,
Well I've finally managed to get flying for the first time since...28th of Jan! I turned up at the club today not expecting to get flying. 10 knot crosswind, what seemed to be very low cloud with poor vis. Snow and rain showers forecast...it didn't look good. Never mind I thought, might as well go down anyway. As soon as I arrived I got the ATIS, which was cloud at 3000, 20KM vis and 11 knot wind 30 degrees of the runway. Not too bad after all... So I got the wind and plotted my route. All was fine, but my FI was away examining somebody, so a stand-in checked everything over with me, and I was good to go. Rang Teesside tower, faxed Newcastle, and was about to step into the plane when I was told there's not enough fuel. No worries, so we rang the fuel company and they said they'd be a couple of minutes....one hour(!) and another phone call later we were becoming annoyed, and make the choice to taxi to the helicopter area to refuel. So I got in the aeroplane to get it started. But for some bizarre reason it wouldn't! I played around, tried everything and after a while I was off. Once I'd got enough fuel I started (which it did straight away making me a lot more confident - was going to call it off). Before I knew it I was whizzing along the runway and flying. Right hand turn, leaving Newcastles zone via the "Tyne Bridges". The route itselfs pretty straight forward - follow the A1 until it veers off to the West, at which point Teesside should be in front of you. Luckily I got there with no worries, and was given my instructions - left downwind for 05 - which was fine, but I was having trouble orientating myself. Couldn't work out if I was left or right for 23 or 05! Quickly got my pooleys photocopy out and got my head around it, luckily I ended up in the right place! There was a slight crosswind and Teesside too, but it didn't cause any problems, and I got her down nice and gently! I shut down, and began the marathon to Teessides main terminal to pay the landing fee - really is a long way... After a (minging) sandwich from the main terminal cafe, I was ready to go back to Newcastle. After a quick inspection from imigration I checked the aeroplane out, and got my taxi clearance. I got my departure clearance and was ready to go. Full power, everything seemed good, so off I went into the blue yonder. The cloud appeared to be lowering, so I decided to fly at 2100 feet, and was promptly handed back to Newcastle radar, and already I had the city in sight. It was becoming a little bumpy now, but nothing to worry about. One of my favoutie things when flying is coming back to Newcastle, being greeted by the Angel of the North, the Sage and Baltic...but most importantly, St James' Park. I know I'm home when I see that! But anyway, I was transfered to tower and told to orbit a while, when some airliners came into land. After a few minutes I was told to continue approach to right base, for 07. There was still a crosswind, but it had died down a little my now - in the region of 8 or 9 knots, so I elected to go in with full flaps. Now flyers from Newcastle will know what I'm talking about here: The aeroclubs "turn off" is pretty close to the threshold of runway 07. I've landed on 07 twice - both times dual and both times not managing to land in time to turn off. (If your not familiar take a look at Pooleys - runway 07 taxiway F.) However, this time I was set up perfectly. Wing down to counter the crosswind, good speed straight down the centre line - I was going to do it - nice soft landing, flared a little too early but managed to stop before missing the turn in - YES! (To most pilots this will not seem like a big achievment - but I'm very proud of myself doing that, especially in a crosswind!). So that was that. My first solo landaway and first time I've managed to not miss F! Very happy indeed tonight! Was great fun - after a fairly long time out I'd forgotten how good it is!! Thanks all! Mazzy - good luck with the test! And cheers for that link, haven't yet looked at it but I'm sure it's very helpful! Someone mentioned earlier whether a navigation test should be needed saying as we'll have done the QXC. I've thought about this for a while, and I guess it's probably best to have a test - there may be a useless instructor sending his students away on the QXC who aren't good enough. Not very likely, but could happen. So I suppose it's right to have the navigation part of the flight test...in my opinion anyway. Cheers and good luck everyone! John. |
JW - excellent writeup! Sounds like the perfect day out - all in good stead for the QXC !
|
Hello all, just a very quick update, took (only my second) exam today - navigation - and passed with 80%. Hadn't done much of the confuser so was very unsure as to how I'd do, but I passed so I'm happy enough! Next is met - next week sometime. Then I can do my QXC.
Thanks everyone. |
You done well there John - I found Nav to be the most challenging exam of the lot (read my post on it) :{
Now that I have finished the exams, I need something else to read - I quite enjoyed studying the subjects, on the train to work or of a night etc. Could always re-read Air Law :sad: |
Mazzy, if you want something else to read you could try "Mechanics of Flight" by A.C. Kermode which is an excellent supplement to the stuff you will have already covered.
Other books I read during my training include 'The Killing Zone - How and Why Pilots Die' :oh: and 'Stick And Rudder'. Both are excellent reads. BTW - I was out again the in DA40 last weekend and on returning to Sheffield found that the airport was CLOSED. Quickly had to identify a diversion airfield, calculate heading and distance, fuel remaining, and daylight remaining (only 45 mins!). Doncaster wasn't so far away so I would have gone there, I orbited for about 15 mins then Sheffield re-opened. There had been a training accident in one of the helicopters - I understand nobody was hurt. But it was good to see my diversion training being put into practice. Although I had my trusty 1:500,000 chart, things were made easier with the dual Garmin GPS stack. A host of local airfields, ranges and directions was soon available :ok: |
Hi Data :ok:
Yeah I have heard about a couple of those books, especially "Stick and Rudder", I will look into those.... Can I ask - what were you initial thoughts when you first realised the airfield was closed? Was there any initial panic, or was it simply a case of doing exactly what you had done in training? I suppose it answers my debate as to whether or not Navigation should be covered in the skills test! Good work .... :cool: |
"Stick 'n rudder"
Hi all,
I've read about half of this oft recommended book. and it certainly does explain the physics of flight in a rather different way! I'll let you decide, but it seems to fit the job better if you fly a tail dragger. I've now been waiting to do my QXC since the 22nd December. I was away for much of January, but I've been booked in just about every day since the beginning of this month!! The weather in the Midlands has not been at all kind to aviators (especially solo studes), either too windy, too cloudy, too much rain/snow, or too little viz. The frustration has gone away now, and I'm resigned to waiting for better weather - I am, however, really looking forward to getting it under my belt, so that I can move on towards the "big" one!! Everything's plotted, and I'm rarin' to go. Reading some of the reports on this thread, I am still a bit confused by the different rules applied by different schools. My school is a "stickler" for doing things right - they have a great safety record and are rightly proud of it. There is no way anyone can take any "short cuts", if that's the right phrase. I am however still intrigued that some schools allow a student to do the QXC with only half the exams done. Mine will not allow you to even do the solo landaway without everything but Aircraft Tech. under your belt, and that has to be passed before the QXC. I'm very pleased to say that all mine are well and truly passed now, though like Mazzy, I'm stuck for something to read now. I almost feel as if i'm being lazy 'cos there's nothing to swot up!! Anyway, I've got lots of slots booked for next week, so hopefully will get the next step done (though the long term forecast is none too promising). Good luck to everyone, and safe flying. I'l not be posting again on here until i have my QXC report to hand!! CF |
Mazzy
The flight last week was the very first time I had taken my wife flying, so when I found out the airfield was closed I wasn't concerned at all, but I think she was ;) At that time - I knew where I was (both on my chart and by knowing the surroundings outside), I knew where I was going, I had a good fuel situation, I had enough daylight. I also knew of 5 airfields easily in range that I could land at and had previous experience of landing at. I also had my mobile phone with me so that if I landed away I would be able to call Sheffield to come and collect me. There were two others also heading for Sheffield and so I made contact and became aware of their positions as they too orbited. At the time the Sheffield radio was off air as the controller was at the incident so we were in contact with Doncaster - but keeping a listening brief with each other and Sheffield. Now - if I'd been flying cross country to Lands End and got within radio distance to find it closed that might have been a different matter. I would have had to quickly review my chart to get a precise fix. Then review alternate airfields, calculate headings and distance, get information on each airfield etc. and then make a decision. I suppose that would be a whole lot more stressful. It reminded me why I always have my Pooleys to hand on longer flights! |
Just had my cross country qualifier cancelled this morning, 33 knots straight down the runway but too much to let me buzz off to Southend and Cambridge on my own.
I could have done some other stuff that is non-essential at the moment ,but they are very busy today so I have the day off and will have to be patient. Re exams etc,I asked the CFI yesterday about doing exams before first solo ,he said that normally they insist on Air law before solo, although there is no legal requirement to pass before solo and in exceptional cases would waive this. I hope to pass R/T this week and then that's the lot done. Oh well,might cut the grass if it's dry enough! Lister:) |
