Nice one Darks, would be interested to know how many hours to solo GA, and did your UL time come into it ?...............Maj...

 

 

[DarkSarcasm]

bit different to the Jab eh?

haha, oh yes!

 

It might not be fashionable, but I have to admit I love the Warrior

 

how many hours to solo GA, and did your UL time come into it ?

Well, officially I soloed at 6.6. But a couple of lessons ago I was told I was at solo standard but we ran out of time to do it, that was at 4.1. I had a couple of lessons with a Gr3 booked so did IF in those then did the solo today after organising to do a check with a FI who could send me solo. So, officially 6.6, unofficially 4.1 I spose

 

Yes, I think the UL time helped, if that's what you mean. After the Jab, everything seems easy to fly!

Well done Darks, that is a fairly different type of aircraft - going tail wheel also.

Awesome Darky, Well done!!

Great work Darky

Thanks everyone :big_grin:

 

And you are soooo cool about such a great achievement.

Probably because it didn't feel like such a big deal second time 'round. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely fantastic, but it wasn't so much 'OMG I'm solo...now I have to get down again!'. It just kind of felt like a natural progression - I was confident in it and just flew it, there wasn't the uncertainty/nerves that comes with the first 'first solo' (if that makes any sense). Absolutely can't wait to get up there again though! :big_grin:

 

How long now before a Dreamliner flight deck is graced by the Dark one?

haha, probably quite a while since I have no intention of ever flying for the airlines! (hands on flying is that much more fun!)

 

 

[Guest Wigg]
