Well, I think it’s dawned on me that I don’t want to continue on the road to Commercial Helicopter Pilot. I’ve lost the mojo for it all. I love flying helicopters, but I’ve come to realise I’ve achieved what I wanted to achieve, which is to be able to fly a helicopter. Another life experience in the bank and one I’m very grateful I’ve done. Big thanks to Steve and Scott at Northumbria Helicopters for putting up with me. It was a privilege and an honour to fly with you both. You’re very brave !!
Onwards and Upwards for me, or “Onwards and Downwards” – Skydiving is my next pursuit. 
Hi Dave,
Did you take the skills test in the end? STILL waiting for nice weather to do my QXC!

Hi Declan. I didn’t, no. I estimate I was 5-10 hours from being ready for it. And I umm’ed and arr’ed over should I just get the PPL completed and do the skills test at the end, but then I erred on the “Nah!” side
Well, finally did the QXC Denham-Wellesbourne-Sywell-Denham. Glorious visibilty and calm winds!
Are you serious about skydiving – are you going to do an AFF course? Looking forward to the blogs!
