Pre-takeoff checklist
Hi guys & gals,
I couldn't find any specific thread where new members can introduce
them selves, so I hope it is ok to do it here...
I have just joined to-day, I am from the UK, but spend a few months of the year at our vacation home in Florida. (fortunate to now be semi retired)
I have a had a long time passion for aviation, and dreamed of one day becoming a pilot, well with the years going by while busy building and running my company, it has taken me a while to reach this point in my life where I now have the time to try and make my dream come true at the age of 63 !
I am currently just into my PPL training with Tailwheels Ect. who operate out of KGIF (Winter Haven FL.) I have passed my FAA written and have 10 hrs aloft time in my log book, when I return to Florida in Mid March I begin a 3 weeks accelerated course, which at the end of, I hope to have gained my PPL ticket (then I suppose the hard work will really start in order to keep learning and become a safe competent pilot)
I just wanted to share this with you all, I hope you will be able to offer me some good advice as I begin my aviation adventure....
I have a feeling I will be popping into the forum quite often for a little advice !!
Thank you
Allan.
