Today's post is contributed by Vera C. Teschow, who earned her PPL in Toronto in 2013, and blogged about her flight training experiences at CYTZ and CYYG throughout the process. (Visit her flight training journal online here.) This post is aimed at student pilots pursuing a PPL.
| I finally flew the other day -- it had been over a year since my last flight, and I was seriously out of currency!! Thankfully, I have a friend who is also a flight instructor, so we rented a Cessna 150 together at the flight school where I had done my training a few years earlier, and took off along the shoreline of Lake Ontario for a little refresher flight. After finishing my PPL in 2013, I had sort of thought I'd rent a plane once a month or so, and go flying alone or with my kids... even with friends who wanted to get the perspective of being in a small airplane. But without a concrete plan in place, those ideas soon turned into "busy with work and family", and suddenly, several months had passed without any PIC hours in my logbook! |
