Congrats, Alana!

I missed the part where you said you passed. I thought you were awaiting the results.

Good job!

Good job!

Thank you! I was so nervous waiting for the VE to tell me if I passed. When they came back over and told me I passed, I almost cried. I was so happy.

Congratulations Alana! I've never done HAM radio before.

I passed the CAA Radiotelophony exam when I was learning to fly. Not quite the same but it involved radios ha ha! Not an easy thing to do You should be proud of yourself!

Nice! PPL? IFR?

PPL but I never completed the training. I moved out of home and couldn't afford to keep it up sadly. I passed avaiation law, meterology and radio telophony, did 43 hours in a pa28 piper warrior ii I think about 10 of those were solo. I take it you're an aviator? There are a few others on here. Some with a stellar career behind them too. I quite fancy starting it again but I would have to start fresh as I lost my logbook and the flying school doesn't exist anymore.

I think i might go for the glider license instead this time tough. Need to loose the weight first though!

Excellent!
