“THE SKILLS TEST. For some that word alone can induce feelings of anxiety or a sleepless night,  managing stress is even mentioned on the standards document. So you are not alone if those words strike fear. The week leading up to test day ,Stayed focused by keeping POH to hand in the evenings with some armchair emergencies (yes actually done that as it helped). Met frequently checked and almost cancelled with the poor forecast, but day by day it improved and finally broke just in the nick of time. With the the ever wise teaching and words of encouragement from Capt White still ringing in ears, was propelled through the test with success. Be prepared to work hard and to have moments of hardship, and use failure as a learning tool because the end result is an unforgettable experience. Many many thanks goes out to Paul , the instructors and everyone involved at the school , certainly is a flying family and I will be seeing you soon ;)”
