Flying in on Saturday. Looking forward to it!

Thanks to Riverland Flight Training, CFI Tim approved me for a restricted licence in the J170 today, after passing my practical test and Air Legislation exam. We then took out the Renmark GCs J230 and had a gr8 time doing circuits, including xwind, so I was thrilled to be endorsed on this also. After 4 yrs drought from flying its a wonderful feeling to fly every day for a WHOLE WEEK! Any advice from here greatly received.....

Hi Robyn, Nice to see some gender balancing here. I'm a newby too with 40 hrs to date in Jabirus. Well done for getting started and I look forward to hearing more of your learning progress. All the best.

Thanks to Air Training Corp, I did a week of gliding @ Renmark as a teen, with 2 solo flights. A fantastic experience and would love to do more.

I bet CASA would charge him to some capacity!

It seems straight forward, unless of course the non-handling landing pilot becomes incapable of handling the landing, then who handles the landing?

Because the handling pilot handles but does no landing in the role reversal, as the non-handling pilot until the landing non-handling pilot hands the landing over to the landing pilot who is in this case unable to handle the landing!!!

Thnaks guys. I'm also really enjoying the reading on this site. Such a fantastic wealth of knowledge; great that it can be shared with us less experienced. See ya out there!

Hi Dingo,

I agree, once flying is in your blood, you're addicted. I'm a newby too! Check out my post (jumping in where I'm at). Gawler sounds great! I look forward to spending some time there too.

Hi all,

Ive been a bit hit and miss with flying so far and look forward to getting serious. Flew in pipers alot with my dad (ppl). At 17, I did some gliding with Air Training Corp in Renmark. Went solo. Did some aircraft maintenance in Darwin - engines & airframes (general aviation). Started an ultrlight licence at Murray Bridge and then had a baby, did some more, had a baby....you get the picture. I have been solo in Jabiru with about 30 hrs. Now living in the Barossa, my baby days are done and I'm getting social before I do more flying (while I save some dollars for flying)!

Take care,

Kerry
