Just Landed

[Ewen McPhee]

Hi everyone.

 

Just joining the crew.

 

Should have done this years ago but started at the local Emerald (Queensland) Flying School 6 weeks ago with John Gordon and Murray Knight, flying Texans.

 

Went on my first solo this morning, thanks to Murray.

 

Haven't come down yet! :thumb_up:

 

Look forward to swapping stories.

 

My son has his PPL and together we have recently bought VH-TTP a Cessna 182P.

 

Texans are much sweeter and less scary.

Welcome.

 

Good work with the solo, Ewan. 182's are nice too. Nev..

Thanks,

 

I love TTP she is a beautiful aeroplane, just a lot more grunt under the bonnet and heavy. My son thinks the Texans are a bit small. Its going to be funny

 

having a GA vs RA argument all in the family.

 

Cheers

Hi Ewen and welcome to the forum. No need to have GA vs RA arguments. I have a PPL and an RA certificate. I fly a J160 REgistered RA-Aus and my husband flies an

 

RV6, Vh registered, but he has just finished training on my J160, so both of us are both. I guess we could argue with ourselves, but basically we see our household as

 

enlightened and flexible with lots of options.

Thanks,

 

I was just being a noob.

 

I say(type) these things and then realise theyr'e a bit dumb. To be honest I am doing the RA licence to get in the air and hope one day to do GA training. The problem is the lack of GA instructors. I had done 4 hours GA and our instructor got snaffled by a big Airline Training Company. Be that as it may I think the RA pathway is great too, just would like to fly the Cessna one day.

 

There are so many things I would like to ask the people in the forum about training and where the best place to get the best information is. I have all my sons books but so far they have been working better than a mogadon after a long day at work. :confused: Hope people dont mind dumb questions.
