December 19, 2014. Why PPL qualification is more Einstein heed than Yeager speed. I must start by apologising for the gap in blog articles. The British weather has severely hindered my progress and, as I type I have gone over 6 weeks without a lesson. My bank manager and ‘Saint Nick’ are delighted with this; my inner Maverick less so! What else can I do? Take 3 more exams quickly I guess with time ticking on my 18-months examination time-bomb. EASA = Examinations Annihilate Student Aviators. The next 3 &...

March 10, 2014. That ‘Work-Flight Balance’ is not getting any EASA-ier! I have to say that my PPL journey is at an all time low after 7 months of non-stop progress. Student Flight is a roller coaster experience! Circuits really get you down as for every good one, you get 3 to 4 ‘meh’ executions so, it is very much about consistency rather than ability at this stage of PPL training. The issue I have right now is simple; THIS IS A HOBBY! But not without frequent verbal prompts from my instructor:. What sho...

May 28, 2014. Entering the ‘circuit of trust’, the Medical and the British Weather. Never mind ‘Meet the Fokkers’ or Mooneys, Piper’s and Beeches for that matter (‘Fokker’ is also an aircraft brand😉 ), nobody ever told me that learning to fly over a long period of time could turn out to be so bloody frustrating.
