Nov 12/12 – Switch to Apple – no updates for while.

I needed new laptop and I have decided that I will switch to Apple. I can’t seem to find any wyswig html editors in App store so this update is from my ancient laptop. So what is new? Both Anton and Bryan did very well in the course. Anton had 25 flights and Bryan 11 flight after 5 days of training. The weather turned bad on Thursday and both Anton and Bryan needed to be back home on Friday so that was it for this course. Bryan did not rush, he already has his private pilot license

Here is note from Anton:

Andre,

Thanks so much for the amazing PPG course.  There were times when I wondered if I should give up but you were there with great feedback, reminders of how there are things out of our control, and realistic perspectives on ones progress.  That really helped me relax, slow down, and enjoy the doing.

If I was to leave a note for your future students I’d say this; exercise like crazy starting three months before your PPG lessons to get in shape.  It will allow you to practice twice as much and that means you’ll learn that much faster. If you are looking for specifics then over three months work up to at least regular endurance running (5mph x 30min) with regular runners, sprinting (10mph x 30sec) and leg-ups(30) with heavy boots on.

Looking back on what I learnt from you I have a hard time believing just how much you taught us and how much stuck in such a short time!  I’m definitely going to recommend you as an instructor to my Peterborough peeps who sat on the sidelines dreaming of the someday that they start PPG.

Keep in touch,

Anton
