Welcome to Neil's Learning to Fly Blog

Welcome to my blog which will detail my adventures in training for my Private Pilots License (PPL). The aim is to log each flight so that I have a record of what I have learned, and it gives me a way of sharing my progress with my friends and family. If you're considering learning to fly then maybe my posts will be of use to you.

Where did this flying thing start? My lovely wife Fran bought me a voucher for a flying lesson for my 30th Birthday and after having a fantastic first flight I decided to pick up a new hobby and train for my own license. I would estimate flying in the US could be as much as 1/2 the price of learning to fly in the UK. Also, being in California the weather here is often very good so it should be rare to need to cancel lessons. Right now the days are long so it's easy to have lessons after work in the evenings.

Please feel comment on my posts, or drop me an email.

Neil.
