WOW thanks for sharing! Amazing and sobering sequence of events...... Well done for putting her down in one piece and nobody getting hurt!
Seems like one should trust your instincts - if you have a bad "vibe" about the weather don't fly...???

Re: MPL - how many hours did it take you?
There's the story of the young bull & old bull walking past a pasture full of enticing young cows reading for the picking... The young bull says to the old seasoned bull... "Let's jump the fence and quickly cover all those young cows in the pasture" The old seasoned bull gives him a smirk and repli...

Re: MPL - how many hours did it take you?
I did stalls and steep turns with my previous instructor but I guess my new instructor want to confirm if I actually remembered anything
I love stalling, like riding a roller-coaster!
So it seems I'm learning everything twice but I'm not complaining

So looking forward to training - tomorrow we're doing stalls and steep turns nice!!!

Thanks for the reassurance guys, I was worried I'm just not cut out for this because I'm taking longer than the 10 hours @Kalahari - ouch that must have been scary having an accident just after going solo!!! Could you possibly tell us more on what caused it? It must be extremely scary flying solo fo...

MPL - how many hours did it take you?
Hi guys I'm currently on 11 hours and haven't gone solo yet - just recently started getting the hang of circuits & bumps (not doing radio calls myself yet :oops: ) Wondering how long it took you guys to go solo and then how many hours after that did you get your MPL? I know if someone that went solo...
