Congrats to both Mr Apoo & Drake - I love it when I hear about friends in this forum acheiving their PPL's - fair winds & clear skies to both of you - stay safe & remember the carb heat

Cheers,

TSC.

Yeah - it's a copy & paste from the other thread - but it's late here & I've had 11 hours sleep in three days

I posted this in the other "new pilot's" thread and just wanted to add it here..

I was given some good advice.. so I'll pass it on.

Try to get one climbing turn, and one descending turn in on each flight. Strive  to hold an EXACT rate of climb/descent; EXACT standard rate of turn; and a CONSTANT airspeed through the whole thing... Perfectly coordinated ,  of course  

When (in a C172) you can descend from 5000msl to 3000msl, with a 90 degree course change (nailed on standard rate) in there somewhere (rolling out +/- 5 degrees), at 700fpm (+/- 50), all at 90kias (+/- 5), without having to think about it... You're really in control of that plane.

Also.. keep foggles and approach plates in your bag so if you ever go up with another pilot; you can get some simulated instrument time logged.

One more thing (practice this first with your instructor)... Get some right-seat landings in. Too few pilots get enough practice at that.

Mr Apoo, and Drake, congratulations...
