puddles_7 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hey Guys, Just completed my license today by passing my Cross Country. Also got signed off for rectractable undercarriage, in-flight adjustable prop (both of those a couple of weeks ago) and passenger endorsement as well. TIF was Feb last year, passed my Pilot Certificate 6 weeks ago at Echuca so it took a while but that was OK to spread the financial burden. Cross Country and other endorsements were done at Tocumwal. I am fortunate that the 2 CFI's I flew with were fantastic with lots of patients and plenty of knowledge to pass on. To those students out there, enjoy the journey, the more knowledge and experience you can soak up along the way is better in the long run. Cheers :happy:Puddles_7:teacher: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compulsion Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Congratulations. It must be a fantastic feeling. I hope to get there one day. I am in no hurry. Like you say it is better to learn and be competant before going solo. I want to feel safe and not scared silly when i finally get my licence.

Guest pookemon Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hey Guys,I am fortunate that the 2 CFI's I flew with were fantastic with lots of patients and plenty of knowledge to pass on. Geez - I hope not! Well done puddles - I am green with Envy. I've just started my High Performance Endo which will lead onto my Nav's - but finding time (and money atm) with the instructors is proving to be a challenge (lots of CPL/Nav work on atm so they're a bit busy). Just can't get there fast enough! Safe flying - and enjoy the freedom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightyknots Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Congratulations Puddles. With a name like this I expect that you'll be going for a float endorsement next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddles_7 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks for the kind words guys. I have spent the last 12 months envying other forum members reaching their milestones so now it's good to have finally made it. EightyKnots, no float endorsement on the horizon. the next step is to find a rich uncle who will leave me his fortune so i can buy a plane of my own. Until then i guess the club plane is the go.

Guernsey Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Who needs a rich uncle???? There are lots of people on the internet willing to give us millions. I've knocked them all back because Julia Gillard has just given me a pension rise. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
