going for PPL (H) - anybody around to 'buddy up' to help learn/motivate/etc
Hi,
I am trying to take my PPL (H), flying out of Redhill and London based. Having a quite intense full time job as well as a young family, coupled to an understanding, but not interested, wife I am struggling to bounce off anybody to go over some of the exams and issues with trying to learn to fly.
It's a catch up at a pub, (soft drink!), and perhaps some study help - you know, firing questions and answers etc that I'm after.
I hope this doesn't sound too weird.
By the way, I am only looking to get PPL (H), can't go commercial, sadly, so making a living out of it isn't going to be my motivation.
thx

Good idea, more support offered here
Hi,

Had a rough and ready dress rehearsal last week for test.....
I live in Forest Row, and am around Redhill every week, so PM me.... or email me at [email protected]

Don't forget to annoy your instructors with additional questions, it's why we're here to an extent and in theory at least, we should give you a reasonably sensible response.
Good idea pulling others together though, there are plenty of people on the airfield at Redhill at various stages of their training, so you could always ask at the school if they might put up a notice offering just what you're discussing.

Hi GiTruck and others here. Am also learning at EBG - about half way through my course (R44). Have young family so I tend to fly mid-week to avoid using up too many brownie points at home. I live in Wimbledon - would be good to catch up and swap tales/advice. Have passed Law and Nav - have my Met exam next week. Hoping to finish course before Xmas, cheers, Liam
