Been a busy week or so ~ lot to catch up on!
Quite a momentous time - three students have achieved their first solo flights!
I will post more tomorrow with pictures - but in the meantime we have more information on our facebook page MSH Flight Training.

Well the weather was awful yesterday (even Skybus was grounded) so we decided to have a groundschool training day.
This was a good idea because as a result of a lot of hard work and study, both Shannon Hassett and Kai Kay passed their Air Law Exam! This is not the easiest of subjects, and so getting first time passes is something to be proud of. We won't publish their marks to save embarrassment!
As a break from air law, they also spent time in the tower with Lori (Air Traffic Controller) who gave them some useful training to help with the Communications study! Guess which exam is next on the agenda?
Nice weather today so far and so great to welcome Tim Whitefield back - he has missed a number of weeks due to work and weather (though you wouldn't think so seeing some of his excellent landings this morning).

Congratulations to Paul Osborne, our student from the Isles of Scilly.
Pretty big achievement - not only did he come over to Land's End to train, he passed his PPL Air Law exam over lunchtime and then flew again with Mark before being sent first solo in G-EOLX on the same day!
This is worthy of recognition - our first student to go 'first solo' in a C172 instead of C152, and the first student from the Islands to go solo for quite a time. (We are not sure when the last Isles of Scilly resident went 'first solo'; if anyone knows who may have been the last we would be delighted to know).
Well done, Paul!

It's now the time that schools are starting to wind up for the end of the school year. Some have already finished. Therefore we are expecting both students and teachers to come in and spend some time either experiencing trial lessons or taking lessons towards their flying licence.
If you fit into that category we are keen to welcome you - we do have students and teachers who come and train with us and are happy to fit in with your timescale if you would like to visit. Feel free to call and pop in to find out more - after you have had a good relax after a busy school year, of course!

Congratulations to Dr Adrian Davis from all at MSH Flight Training! He successfully passed a flight test with Mark yesterday to bring his PPL back to life, and can now fly his aircraft G-YIPI, a Cessna 172 Hawk from the airport near his home on St Marys, Isles of Scilly.
It has involved quite a lot of work on his part, and a few challenges with weather along the way but, thankfully, the warm front we were expecting yesterday held off long enough to allow the test to be done in the afternoon. We wish him lots of enjoyable flying now - not just trips to and from the Islands to Land's End!

Yes, it is getting that time of year again! Culdrose Air Day at the RN Air station is upon us on Weds 28th July this year. I did intend to post the link to it, but somehow it disappeared on the paste function.
One of our students has suggested it may be worth visiting the preview day on the 27th, as it will have all the aircraft with none of the crowds. It is of course not far at all to fly-in (we could take more than one aircraft).
What do people think? - if enough people are interested we could organise it!
