Lovely day, early start as I had to do some ground school.

Nice little flight on a lovely winter morning.


Only 44.5 hours left to do until I receive my PPL

Nice one - good luck with that!!!! I'm just starting on the car and that's scary enough!!

Well you know when you drive a car?

Flying is nowt like that lol

Air traffic control talk a load of bollocks but very important bollocks all the same. They also seem to think I am called Roger.

Pulling onto the runway is scary, imagine your instructor telling you to pull out of a junction onto a road that wagon travel along at 100+ Mph and you not knowing if one is on its way towards you????

The other thing that freaked me is ATC, G-BKAS you have traffic at one o clock tomohawk max altitude 3500 range 3 miles. I still aint seen it.

Congrats on your first flight! I have always wanted to learn to fly, but I am afraid that my slight hearing loss would disqualify me from the FAA medical exam, even for a Private license. My audiologist thinks he can get me through but I haven't persued it.

Whoa, that's pretty wild! I would think the scariest part would be landing for me. Do you have lessons weekly? It looks fun!

 

[Timewarrior2001]

I take lessons when I can afford them, they are around $250 per hour.

I need to rack up 45 hours flying and god only knows how many hours of ground school.

But one day I will get my licence.

Then on for my commercial pilots licence.

As for hearing loss, I am partially blind in my right eye (due to a scar over my optic nerve)

The examinations are basically to say you don't have like angina or epilepsy and are generally fit.
