So I arrived at the school today for PPL Lesson 35: Solo Circuits and there was more good news. My other instructor has got an assessment for an airline tomorrow so he won’t be able to teach my lesson. Not a problem at all! He is a great instructor and deserves it and I can just finish my final required solo time.
This will be a short post as I only needed 0.2 hours to get over the 10 hours solo minimum.
The circuit was empty today and there was a crosswind of 8 kts. I went out and did 3 circuits, a regular, a flapless and a short field. The circuits were all fine, the flapless was a little bit harder work as it had been a while since I had done one. I was out for a total of 0.5 which puts me up to 10.3 hours solo time.
From next Saturday I will be flying every day for a week in preparation for my test. We have 5 hours to go over everything before we are at the minimum 45 hours I need to be put forward for the test. My school has in-house examiners so hopefully arranging the test shouldn’t be an issue.
There are three of us (students) who have all done our cross countries in the last 2-3 weeks, so hopefully we will all be taking our tests in the next month or two.
It feels like it is all coming to a head quickly so I will just be thinking positive and paying extra attention to what my instructors have to tell me.
