It's something I've dreamt of my entire life, and it was awesome. PE went a long way in giving me the courage to do it. Thanks for that.

Fantastic. How did it go? Did you crush the radios?
Re: Took My First RW Lesson Today
It went really well. He handled the radio but I was doing all the CTAF calls in my head. Next Saturday I'm going to ask him if I can do it myself. And I'll tell you this, I knew a hell of a lot more about KPHL's Bravo airspace than he expected me to!Keith Smith wrote:Fantastic. How did it go? Did you crush the radios?

Re: Took My First RW Lesson Today
Today was lesson number three, and it was great with me really being in control of the aircraft from walkup to shutdown. One of the best parts was when I said, "Mind if I make the CTAF calls?" The instructor said, "Sure. Go ahead." Thanks to PE we didn't spend a lot of our time together discussing what should happen next. Thanks for helping me be ready ahead of time. I think the mission statement of PE should be "Making Better Pilots," because that's what I think you do.

It'd be a dream to have a student who wanted to do CTAF calls.
