Want to have EVERYTHING I have created and will create?
Phil Taylor is almost a qualified Pilot!!
On April 17th I flew an airplane without an instructor for the first time, since then I have done it again twice! read all about it here: Not a bird or a plane – just Phil

Now I am looking to complete my training as quick as possible, but need to generate some quick income to support this
its not cheap!
Therefore I have come up with a “Priority Customer” scheme, where for only £199.99 you can have unlimited copies of every product we sell from our website AND every future product we release in the next 12 months, free upgrades for the life of the products AND priority support for these installations.
Thats a pretty good offer I think – and will enable me to complete my pilots license quickly.
Interested?

Thanks for your support in advance!

Is it a bird, is it superman, NO its just Phil FLYING SOLO

Thats right, while you were all working hard today, I was undertaking my first ever SOLO flight over the island of Jersey.
After a false start in the morning where we canceled due to fog, the weather dramatically improved to give clear skys and light winds. At 4pm my instructor and I took off for dual circuit training (which is basically take off, fly a big rectangle circuit and then land). After 4 of these circuits my instructor called the ATC and requested their permission for me to fly a solo circuit – my first! They agreed after the instructor assured them
So my instructor got out of the plane…
… and closed the door…
… and then it was just Me in .
After my power checks I was given clearance to take off, so I took a deep breath, and another, and another, checked all the instruments and applied full power…. wow.
Took off, turned left, turned left again and headed downwind, following another aircraft ahead, when the ATC came on the radio to say I was number 2 in line to land and had to give way to a commercial jumbo jet!!! so I circled in orbit for a few revolutions before being able to proceed to final and to land…. engine rpm reduced, flaps down, so far so good… line up with runway, received clearance to land – great!
I was a little low and so applied a little too much power and bounced on my landing, a little blast of more power to comfort the next landing and I was down… phew, I did it.
I cant say I was not a little nervous, cause I was, but the feeling was AMAZING knowing that I just flew my first 20mins solo in a plane. The circuits here in Jersey are over 10 miles long unlike a normal circuit you can do in 7mins! this is because we track the coast of the island rather than flying over land…
So now, I have done my first solo flight, I get told that here in Jersey the next 3 hours training are ALL SOLO’s which is different to the training scheme I had in 2001 in the UK so I was taken aback, my next lesson is for tomorrow, so I guess that will be 1 hour of solo circuits, on my own, patting the seat next to me to prove I’m on my own, gasping for air as I land…
All good fun – really
