    Going solo! Also I really want to go on a 747-400ER. I am looking forward to seeing the first A380 takeoff, would be amazing to see (on tv hopefully!).

    It depends. There are different markings that mean different things. If a runway has arrows leading up to the ‘piano keys’ then it means that that part of the runway is available for takeoff only. The ‘piano keys’ indicate that you can land there onwards. If you see a runway with a cross at either end it means the runway is not suitable for landings and shouldnt be used.
    Wys and other pilots here though will know far more details.

    I have only flown on United out of the American airlines.
    I literally can not explain how excellent the service, aircraft and punctuality was. I had 6 flights in one week:
    UA 777 LHR – Washington
    UA 777 Washington – Denver
    UA A319 Denver – Jackson Hole
    and one the return:
    UA A319 Jackson Hole – Denver
    UA A319 Denver – Chicago
    UA 777 Chicago – LHR
    Every aircraft was in excellent condition, specially their A319’s! Unbelievable. Also, the 777 was great, with excellent in flight entertainment. The only bad thing about the flights was the food. The food was terrible! It came in a brown bag, infact I kept them, and the food that we recieved was bad. But then they are struggling so what can you expect?

    I cant believe some people dont like the AA and Iberia liveries. I think the AA one is good, and the Iberia one is great! I love it!
    As for most dull, either Air India or Air France gets my vote!

    I particularly like the US, and im English, not British by the way!
    The thing that annoys me is that when I visit the US, everyone seems oblivious to the rest of the world! For example (and yes I know you cant take a few news channels for the rest of the country, but as an example) last time i visited the US all of the news channels, thats FOX, CNN… you name it, all they had was American news. I cant remember exactly what, but I remember that in Europe there were much bigger things happening, but no, they wouldnt show it. Now, that may sound like an insult, but trust me it isnt. I think the English should be proud to be English, but at the moment its probably politically incorrect to be a patriot. Not only that, but if England was more patriotic then i think many of our problems would be solved (assylum, for example. just kick them out! i dont want to pay for assylum seekers).
    Second, Europe and England are not the same. The Europeans (main people are France, Germany and Belgium in my opinion) seem to disagree everything that the English say. Lets put it this way, France doesnt like us because their army basically sucked in WWII and they are jelous that a country about half the size basically kept france alive. I wouldnt say the Germans hate us, or that they dislike us, and I am fond of Germans. They are more polite (in most cases) than the French. As another show of ignorance by the French, in the Eurovision contest, guess which nation out of how many???? about 30, didnt use English to process results on the television. You guessed it, France.
    They absolutely hate the English, and I dont care. I just thinks its a pity that so many English soldiers died in France fighing for their and our freedom and yet they are ungratefull. It really fills me with anger. (and guess what, we still have to learn f******* french in school).
    So keep it up America, you arent hated, its just we get hacked off youre so far up youre own ar$es (but whos perfect eh?!)

    Hi Warrior.
    I am 16 so obviously am still training, and i should be flying solo and week now.
    The weather here as you have mentioned can be terrible, but at the moment its summer! Get all the hours you can in throughout the summer, and try and get the PPL in a relaxed manner. You dont want to rush things (sounds like the Grolsch advert doesnt it!), but you dont want to leave it and then start again. Keep a rythum (dont know how to spell that word!), and it will be ok.
    Good luck!
