Silly o'clock

Had an early start today, beginning with smacking the alarm clock across the room at 0500 and trundling up to the airport for preflighting and met checks by 0600. By 0700 it was all ready to go and I had time to sneak in this nice little pic with the sunrise... as you can tell it was rather wet overnight!

Today's flight was with a different instructor which I wasn't too happy about - some non-sensical changes to the instructor allocation had ended up with me being booted off my normal instructor, but this is (hopefully) in the process of being changed back - I much prefer my original instructor!


I have finally got onto circuits, which means that there are now only 2 flights left (assuming all goes well) until my first Solo flight - frighteningly soon! The good part about circuits is that they can go ahead in fairly rubbish weather, so we'll hopefully get them out the way fairly quickly.
Last week saw us taking our Navigation exam, which we are still waiting on the results from, and we are due to take both Air Law and Human Factors exams this friday. The good news being that after this friday all the PPL exams will be done with (assuming a pass of course!), the bad news being that Air law is having to be studied in a very short amount of time (2 groundschool days!). At some point inbetween my last post and this post, we also all took the Katana type rating exam (knowledge of particular aircraft limitations, speeds, statistics etc) which went fine...


So enough drivel, that's where I am at the moment so hopefully next time i'll be posting that I've gone solo!
