Well I passed my GVC Exam with flying colours (no pun intended!) so that is me flying on the highest level of authorisation for another year at least! I am yet to decide my long term strategy, but this gives me a little more breathing space to decide if operating at this level is actually commercially necessary or whether I back down to a simpler A2CofC qualification and run both the Mavic 3 for quality work and a Mini 3/4 for urban operations.
So the rest of this week is going to be spent getting all the paperwork in order and submitted to the CAA so that I am fully authorised to continue after the 12th when my current permission expires (there may be a couple of days when I am “grounded” to some extent - at least as far as complex operations are concerned - but there is nothing scheduled that will cause problems for at present).
The weather over the last few days has been properly seasonal with negative double figure temperatures and thick frost! It has been marvellous! Things warmed up a little today and the frost is now gone for the moment, but I am sure it will be back soon!
My next jobs are chasing hut developments for Jen and getting the dates sorted for at least the first half of 2024 with regards to workshops!
