Hi All,

Just been through the hard slog and have been successful in passing the PPL test yesterday. It took me 11 months of start/stop with final concentrated effort over the last 4 weeks. Yet to pass with GFPT, 2 hours to go...

Hi Rod

Welcome to the forums. Congratulations on your PPL pass - well done! All the best with your flying training, I'm sure you will enjoy it. You have a lot to look forward to.

Congratulations on the theory pass Rod - well done. How did you go with your GFPT? Good news?

Cheers,

Rich

Hi Rich,

No luck as yet, still need around 30 minutes prior to the pre test. Feeling confident though!

Hi Bob,

Been great so far, wished I started earlier...afraid its a mid-life crisis works in well with the convertible

Regards,

Hi All,

Just an update on the progress.

Just passed the GFPT. Pretty happy as this has been a life long dream which until now has been out of my grasp. Today was a pretty big milestone. It wasn't a perfect result, but it was in trying conditions. Importantly I know where I went wrong, and i'm not phased as they all weren't show stoppers.

Next, its PPL. Theory is knocked over, so now just the training. I have had a head start with this as we traveled from Vic to Birdsville recently where I navigated the whole way.. shame I cant include this time into the program and reduce some of the dual I will have to do...it all adds to the experience I guess!
