Gaining solo & endorsments to me are just the begining of the learning curve.
I have gained my pilot certificate & am endorsed for Radio, passenger, & cross country but in no way do I feel I have enough knowledge or experience to leap out into the airspace with confidence just yet. I am a very low hour pilot & I still want to learn more from others with more experience before I venture out with passengers, let alone into the midst of Melbournes air traffic.
I had a null in my training, I imagine like most people, where it felt as though I was going backwards - this, I believe is a natural phenonemom with all humans. It's amazing how the "next day" things improve & once again you are all smiles, learning again & generally you never look back after that point in time.
I also found that any more than 2 hours training a day (1hr in the morning & 1 hr in the afternoon) would have been too much (for me anyway). You need time to absorb what you have learnt - to ponder it & work it through in your mind before you tackle it again. Cross country was a massive multitasking feat that takes time to come to grips with.
So what I'm now looking for is a club or group that fly from preferably Tooradin or Lilydale, so I can join in & be able to fly, learn & socialize with like minded people.
Are there any options out there???
Cheers
