Hello,

I have been sim flying for a extremely short time, found PE shortly after beginning my journey, and have not been the same since

Thanks to the workshops, pep talks, and the rigorous efforts of the AMAZINGLY talented and helpful controllers, I passed my CAT 1 & 2 yesterday, and my CAT 3 & 4 today

Always a pleasure, always a bit nerve wracking and always a chance to learn, improve, and inch closer to my goal.

Jiva

Welcome to the network!!! Seeing 'Newbs' come in and push through these obstacles are the reason I check the forums so often, other than the amount of knowledge in this community.

Welcome to PilotEdge Jiva.
If you've just started with flight simulation, then you have found PE at the right time. I wish I would have started here years ago. I didn't realize how much I was missing. PE is a fire hose of aviation information. I've learned more in the few months that I've been a member than in all the years that I have been enjoying flight simulation as a hobby.
For me, PilotEdge has been a whole new dimension in flight simulation makes this hobby so challenging and enjoyable. Each rating is like jumping a hurdle, but I come out on the other side knowing so much more. Yet still I find the anticipation of each rating test, a nail biting experience.
Keep pushing, learn lots and have fun. That's what it's all about, and it sure accomplishes that.
