The perfect student would be:
The perfect student, if there is such an animal, comes to the lesson well prepared. i.e.: Knows the SOP, procedures and checklists 100% – The flying is then easier. I have always wanted to fly. When I left school I joined the SAAF and then SAA. I like to pass on my knowledge to new pilots and see them progress.

Safety is of the utmost importance! Never rush when you go flying; do all the paperwork, pre-flight, post flight, fly in a methodical manner and your flight should be a safe one. When I’m not flying I play tenor sax in a jazz band and sing tenor in the Cape Town Symphony Choir.
