I went to the club today to pick up my PPL. This weekend captain Singh is teaching the Ground School. I understand that quite a few new students have started this year.  Things look much better for the club after last year’s draught, and I am glad that it does.

I took a few pictures outside the club.  See here … Gunung Pulai was partly covered in black clouds.  So I decided not to fly today, especially since the Cessna was in the hangar for the students to practice the external pre-flight checks. It seems the Pipers are now ready to fly, but I do not know which instructor has already been converted and what it would take for a PPL holder to get the endorsement for this aircraft.  Since there are many new students and a/c hard to come by, getting converted might not be such a bad idea.  I have the impression anyway that I have an easier time with low wing aircraft. On the way back I took the 333 bus to see whether it is faster and whether it takes the same route as the A1 bus. Sitting in the bus driving by the small hills south of GP I realized that the weather is getting much better and I already regret not having waited longer at the club. But as the saying goes: Better being on the ground wishing to be in the air, than being in the air wishing to be down on the ground.
