Airborne

With the snowy winter months now behind us (lets hope!) it was time to get airborne and begin training for my PPL (Private Pilots Licence). For those not in the know of aviator talk, this means 45 hours of flying (25hours dual instruction/10hours solo and remaining time a mixture of both), on top of that includes theory work leading to 8 exams and a final skills test plus lots of motivation!

So thats the introduction, now back to present day...so far I have learnt how to climb,descend,turn, fly straight and level and stall the aeroplane. Every time i'm airborne the view outside fascinates me,something you can never get tired of, but as each lesson progresses i'm finding less time can be spent taking in the view but instead concentrating on flying the aeroplane-eyes looking straight ahead...attitude flying!
