Heh. I should be so lucky. At the age of 42, with young children, I made the call ages ago that I wouldn't even attempt the RPT path. Far too settled. (I may do CPL in future and do instructing, but...

Just flying is the fix for me

I got my PPL about a year ago, grand total of 85 hours flying so far, and due to family, work, money commitments I only get to fly every 6 or 8 weeks. Nowhere near enough. But from my POV, just being...

G'day all

I'm a 60-hour student pilot (just one more cross-country dual to do, plus the PPL theory, then I'm ready for the PPL exam). On my first solo cross-country navigation exercise, I had an...

Wrap-up

Since my earlier post, I've got the situation resolved and I have to say that Aero Refuellers, once fully aware of my predicament, were extremely proactive and supportive in getting things fixed :D....

Glad to hear it can be done

As a 50-hour student pilot out of YSBK I have very recently undergone my emergency procedures training. Taking off to the west out of Bankstown and doing simulated upwind engine failures, it's always...

Thanks for the feedback everyone

Thanks for everyone's quick feedback. Some very good points. I will clarify the point with my instructor. I suspect what he's telling me me is that in addition to the short briefings for each flight...

Rough idea of how many instructor briefings you need during training?

So next step?

Thanks for the feedback. I certainly intend to be revising as I'm doing the practical.
