[AndyR]

We would all like to know about and join in celebrating noteworthy milestones along the path of your aviation career - whether that be private or commercial. This thread allows all those steps to be cast into internet eternity forever more.

Please post achievements in this student forum or PM me or @andyr me in any post to attract my attention and I will update this thread in the most timely fashion possible. If I miss something do let me know.

Entries on this thread are not restricted to ab initio training! We learn from all sorts of events and we all learn from each other - so please share...

Of course, we expect to hear about anyone gaining an additional rating, differences training, qualification ... come join the wall (and indeed, hall ) of fame.

The 2021 thread was sadly rather reduced due to the impact of Covid, but hopefully 2022 can improve on that and maybe take up some of the slack?

The challenge is there for all of us to get out there and get up there.

Let's hope for a record year of First Solos, Qualifying Cross Countrys, PPL Skill Tests, not to mention aerobatics, tailwheel, Instructor Ratings and Examiner privileges gained as well as the odd heavy metal type ratings

And anything else memorable and noteworthy
