Be happy that you made the right call for you in the given situation. The fact that you safely landed back at sowfend is proof enough. I had a situation on a similar solo landaway exercise, although...

To be brutally honest, if you're having to ask the question of cheapest PPL then you can't afford it. I know that is a terribly sweeping statement when I don't know your full...

It was totally unexpected and far more enjoyable than I thought it would be as I thought the underlying fear would overpower the excitement but it turned out to be the reverse. :)
