Roughly Where I Am At The Moment
I've already started my training (in fact I started in 2006!) but many factors have slowed down my flying (at one point forcing an 11 month period out) so I have only flown 12.8 hours towards my PPL in what seems a very long time along with a few more hours on other gliding, air experience flights etc etc in aircraft such as the Grob Tutor.
Here is a video of my first flight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5UFO-Kci2k&fmt=18
My last flight to date was on the 11/08/08 flying G-BUIF with JC. This hour took me back to the earlier hours I flew of my training and included revision of turning, climbs, descents, stalling and a forced landing. I was rather dreading this flight as it had almost been a year since I'd last flown and I was really hoping that all my flying skills hadnt left my mind. Thankfully they hadnt and the flight was successful. So you have an idea of where I am and what I've done I've included a list of all my lessons to date including the one I've just discussed.
