I did it at last! Got my PPL!!! It was REALLY hard. Thanks everyone who helped me in my thread Private Checkide. It can be done. You just have to be good. I'd say those that can't is because they need to fine tune their skills. ...

But for some reason I also got this for doing the solo flight as well, so I don't know why that is. Anyway I've two now! Sorry for being so pompous, but I'm overjoyed!!!!!!! Smiley

P.S Perhaps I need to change my avatar now!! Wink Grin

Well done Ben. I know this means a lot to you. Grin

Remember what I told you. Never be afraid to ask for advice, even if you think it's a stupid question. Wink

Congrats!  You are now one of the proud and few! Grin

I have my real pilots license and so I don't feel the need to fly the sim version of a check ride.  I was nervous enough during my real one. Grin
