A few people have contacted me to ask where I am, so thought I should post an update. Basically I'd like to ask firstly that you try to contact me as little as possible at the moment. If you have any site feedback, suggestions, etc (excluding bugs) please delay for a couple of weeks from telling me. I'm currently in Jerez de la Frontera on the south coast of Spain (yea I know, it's a hard life lol). Most of you know that I've been studying for my private pilots license for 3 years now, on and off, and I've come to Spain where they have a UK CAA school so I can do my exams in English. In Holland (where I live) I can only do them in Dutch and it's just too hard in a foreign language. I've been here since Thursday and I've passed 4 exams. I have another 3 to go before I can do my practical exam. Tomorrow morning I do my navigation theory exam, the hardest, and I'm not feeling so confident. Gotta study hard tonight. If you need my attention, feel free to PM me or email me marking the email as high priority. If it can wait until I get home then even better. I'll post to let you know when I'm home. Ok will let you know tomorrow how I get on...

Passed my navigation exam, it was really hard though. All trick questions, sneaky little sods. They even gave me an out of date chart/map which didn't have all the details on I needed to answer the questions!!!! Tomorrow: Aviation law/operational procedures, followed by communications. Not looking forward to either. Tuesday: Get to start flying :-D wooo

I think there should indeed be a section for planes. If we're going to allow cars then why discriminate against those who can't come by car or bike for whatever reason? It's my right God dammit!! Feet - stamp!!
For those of you who remember the discussions on here about last year's Friendlies rally the above will make sense lol. First flight today was cracking, had a great time and can't wait for tomorrow (Forced landings). Then solo by the end of the week and maybe final exam on Monday.

Hey Matt, congratulations on passing your written exam's. So what's the challenge after you get your PPL? Will it be to take exams to fly at night?
