After 18 exciting hours of flying time Allen ‘just’ managed to complete his first solo circuit. Only another 27 to go, including; navigating, cross country missions, landings at a variety of airfields. Not to mention five theory exams including air law, meteorology, flight planning and performance, navigation and radio communications.
Against all the odds Allen managed to pass the CAA class 2 flying medical! Next steps are build on the solo hours and smooth out the landings which are far short of perfect but as Allen's teacher says “any landing that you walk away from is a good landing” If the helicopter skids could talk, they may have a different opinion…and the ultimate realistic goal after gaining a license for the Robinson R22 is to advance to an R44 (4 seater) licence which requires a bit more training. Watch this airspace!
