CONGRATULATIONS to student Beth on completing her Qualifying Cross Country (QXC) Having flown both land aways just the week before, Beth was well prepared for her next milestone. After a misty start again the Jet Ranger brought out the sun and once planned, briefed and aircraft checked it was Beth’s time to shine! Jump aboard as Capt White waves her off from Elstree and watch to end to hear startup at Duxford.

Beth took the whole day in her stride and look how delighted she was and rightly so. Well done Beth, now it’s on to the final chapter of your PPL training, building and finessing those skills and confidence around the UK later this month.

“I am proud of myself and so grateful to Paul for helping me to achieve this milestone in my flying. My experience had been postponed due to the unpredictable, British windy weather and I was worried it might be again when I opened my curtains to mist (in May?!). However, after planning and a full MATED brief the cloud had dissipated, I was ready to go. My lifts, lands, transitions and approaches were more confident and controlled so I was pleased with those. My highlight was flying over two of my favourite places, the safari park and Paris House in Woburn. There’s also something strangely exhilarating about flying past a wind farm. Although it wasn’t crystal clear, the skies were beautiful and winds calm. I spoke to some lovely people whilst at the away airfields. I absolutely loved the whole day and I can’t wait to fly around the UK using all my improving chopper, Radio and Nav skills.” Beth Fisher
