Thanks for the info! I have heard varying reports from people about the 'syllabus' for the RPL conversion ranging from 5 hours to 15 hours and was just trying to work out what people were actually doing :-)

Well Done Mate!! Just out of interest how many hours does it take to convert from RA-Aus - RPL? Cam

Hey Guys, Just a quick note to let you know I completed my first area solo on Saturday. Went up with my instructor and did a couple cross wind landings just to double check i remembered how to get the bird back on the gravel and then got told to take it for a spin out in the training area! It was really a big step in the process as you can actually see the finish line. It felt so good to be just cruising around at 4000ft being able to take it all in. I did take my camera with me but there was a bit of an issue... I left the SD card at home! Bummer ! after my little jaunt I came back and did a few circuits, 1.5 hours clocked up on Saturday with a total of 2.5 hours solo. Now just to finish off my Solo hours and Exams! Camo

WOOOOHOOOO!! well done mate, bet you are stoked! Camo

Know the feeling bro! 12 months ago I would have never dreamed I would be flying an aircraft on my own and thought the end goal was unachievable / un-affordable! I think there would be alot more people flying if they knew this path is both achieveable / affordable! On another note, I'm off to the Training area tomorrow for an orientation out there with my instructor! Maybe MY area solo might not be too far off! Keep up the posts ayavner, love hearing how its going. Camo

I won't bother making a new thread but... SECOND SOLO = TICK And I must say that smile is still bolted onto my face! Saturday was a little challenging. I checked out the area report before I left and it was calling for winds at 35knts from the north. When I arrived there was a little wind but not enough to worry the Jab. The instructor and I headed off 31 for a couple circuits which were a tad bumpy but nothing we couldn't handle. Then... My Instructor got out! (seems to be making a Habbit of this ) The wind picked up a tad on my first circuit and it also decided to add a cross wind into the mix. bit of crabbing to get me down to the runway but I was happy with my landing. Reset the Trim, Flaps half and went to do it all again! This time when I got onto final it felt like I needed alot more power to keep it at the right angle of pitch, Next thing I know the wind is coming from the West.. Then it is coming from the East and then it was behind me!! At this point I decided to make it a fullstop landing. All in all it was a challenging morning but it was a good test of the skills. Even though it was a bit nerve racking I loved every minute of it! Can't wait to do it all again! Camo
