Godfather

I did a few circuits there just after work an instructor (doing my RPC check), and we thought it was a car accident because all the vehicles along that road. I'm glad because I may not have managed to pass.

Thanks Yenn. Actually I learned in Jabs at YBAF but they all got smashed in that November '14 storm - and then they were banned from secondary aerodromes by CASA anyway. That's when Pathfinder sourced the lovely low-wing Slings, and I've never looked back. Hoping to someday rustle up some syndicate partners to operate a Sling out of YHEC. In the meantime my Class 2 medical and RPC allows me to use AF with PAX outside of tower hours.

Similar problem. Started in Jabs, so glad for the slings though. The challenge is now upgrading to PPL to fly something big enough to take the family!

There was another bloke on here a while ago, Roger Ramjet I think he called himself, who was having the same problem. I think he was in Canberra too. Same instructor I wonder?

Damn, that's been my pseudonym for numerous sites!!

I bought this kit sans kneeboard!! I didn't realise it was an option! Either way, simple A5 clipboard serves the purpose reasonably well (although I'd like the strap just for stability sometimes). Currently in using A5 paper only… will be figuring something out soon.

Hi all. I'm a student pilot learning at Archerfield. It's been a dream since young and almost took me into the RAAF although fate (& my heart) chased a different direction (& married with 4 kids later…).

Looking forward to getting my wings and taking my bride and kids flying.
