Hi there to everyone, new too this, and just about got my RA cert

 

 

[Guernsey]

Hi Scooter181 congratulations on your imminent Ra Certificate, so tell us a bit about yourself.

 

Where are you located, where do you fly from, what aircraft are you training in, how old are you, will you be buying an aircraft etc, etc, etc.

 

We are like a large family on this Forum and just like families we like to share our experiences and help each other where possible, if you have 'common' sense, well that's ok,

 

but if you have a sense of humour that's even better.

 

Alan.

Thanks for the welcome note everyone, I'm 42, live in Bendigo vic, training in a tecnam echo P92, have done aprox 3hrs solo at this stage, but i go up every week, so my hours are going up nicely. I will be buying within the next year or so, but not sure what yet. Maybe a savanah, gazelle, zenith, or even a jabiru. I'm always up for good advise to narrow down choices that are made. thanks guys. Scooter

Hi s181,

 

to the forum. Enjoy the 'company'!

I flew past Bendigo (overflew Raywood) a few weeks back, on the way to Goolwa, and while I was at the closest 13 miles to the North, I did listen to the Bendigo CTAF activity for a little while.

 

Raywood looked like they might be preparing gliders. It was certainly a good day for gliding. I was being chucked about quite a bit by thermals. Not long after I overflew Bridgewater, they put up some meat bombs. Melbourne Centre was trying to warn someone about flying into the active rocket range at Serpentine too. The area seemed reasonably active.

After watching for a long while I too have gone solo today , at 55 I was worried I may not be able to cut the mustard but under CFI Allan Jarvis and at the Yarram aerodrome it came together beautifully

You are dead right Pud and I do get a bit worried about detonation if I were to get a migraine.
