Wow, it really has been a while since I last posted an update here. ::)
I've updated my blog with some minor posts in the mean time, but now I added a major event: my first flying lesson in my own aircraft! ;D
Also, I decided to start the theory course as of next week, and I will start regular flying lessons with the upcoming new year.
The thing is: I only created the Dutch version yet: http:\\ericje.blogspot.com
The English translation will follow soon, but I do need to find some time for that...
[EDIT] the English translation can now be found on http://ericjesppl.blogspot.com
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
By now, I have started theory (passed the first two exams, working on the next two, and then three more to go), which will keep me busy until June at least.
And I have now started to actually FLY ;D ;D ;D
See the last six posts to catch up since my previous post here ;)

It has been over a month since I last flew RL, due to sh&#%$tty weather (mainly too much wind). In the mean time, I have finished two theory exams (Navigation and Communication), and passed them with the minimum mark of 75%, if the provisional answers prove to be the final answers. Just have to wait for the official letter to confirm that...
I have posted a blogpost about the first flight after that month of not-flying, and I have meanwhile had another lesson despite the relatively high winds. I'll write a piece on that soon (have to find the time somewhere), but here's a video of one of the four landings I did during that flight. Just to show you how I struggled to get the plane down on the tarmac correctly. ;) Did a reasonably good job during the flight, but I was exhausted afterwards. ;D

Finished all theory exams with success at all their first attempts! ;D
Meanwhile, I also did RT practice (as opposed to RT theory), so all that remains is LPE (Language Proficiency Endorsement), which I will get towards the end of my practical course, I think.
I've been out of flying for a good month-and-a-half now, because of a shoulder injury, but that has healed enough for me to already book three lessons in August, to get back in the saddle.
On to my solo!
