I’m greatly enjoying flying again — I feel much more confident at it now than I did in the past, both on the technical issues of flying, as well as secondary things like radio protocols, which I tended to stumble over in the past. Today was a lot of fun because it was so turbulent, and the plane was getting tossed around quite a bit. I do my medical on Wednesday, so I should be flying solo quite soon. I’m definitely looking forward to getting the whole license completed so that I can do things like rent planes and take much more interesting and unrestricted trips than would otherwise be possible — especially if I want to go explore Nunavut and other places that can really only be toured by air.

Wow, cool. This reminds me of my dad when I was younger. He got his license and used to rent a plane for 1-2 hours and just fly around, and sometimes let me come along. It was super fun! Good luck.
That must have been fun… Nefarious and her next door friend have been asking to come along; maybe I will take them soon.
There’s an airport in Kincardine, you could fly here for a beach visit. Haha!
ohh i’m soo jealous. happy flying, though, and best of luck on yoru tests.
A lot of pilots-in-training listen to air traffic control radio transmissions at sites like liveatc.net just to get the lingo and protocols down as second nature. Might be a good thing to have on as background noise!
Great tip, thanks.
when we all get together down here we will need an ultralite we or one of us has a big enough boat to stow it so that one can make beer runs or fly-ins with the ultra lite – landing and taking off on water
