Philip Harris
Filing Flight Plan
Hi everyone!
I recently relocated to Cincinnati Ohio having lived in the UK all my life. I got my PPL 19 years ago aged 17. I originally had a full ICAO licence that would have been recognized by the FAA, however after 9/11 the industry took a downturn, so I decided not to pursue aviation professionally and downgraded my licence to the UK LAPL (similar to sport pilot without the weight restrictions) which the FAA does not recognize.
Obviously I want to keep flying, so after some discussion with a local instructor/DPE, we decided to do the 20 hours instruction to learn some of the airspace differences and rules (night is also new to me), and skip the 20 hours solo. So right now I'm flying at 40I - Red Stewart making the best of my 20 hours flying Piper Cubs and their very old, but very nice flying, Cessna 172. They take their grass roots stick and rudder flying seriously and the tail wheel time is a new thing for me. Plus I've got my eyes on renting their Stearman this coming summer
So that's me! I'm looking forward to getting to know more people involved in aviation, perhaps there are even some people on the forums not too far from me?
Merry Christmas!
