Nat Brown

I attended the NPOD day at Newmarket on Sunday and it was absolutely brilliant! I did indeed feel quite nervous at first as I was first to go up but as soon as I took off, I felt completely relaxed with my mentor, Kevin Caton, guiding me through the Clubman Schedule. Even though I only had 2 sessions before the competition, it helped my flying immensely. I now know that I need to fly out further and higher than usual to do aerobatics, and remember the straight lines on exits! I learned so much from that day, and it certainly was shown in practice, as I managed to come 1st in the competition, which I was pleasantly surprised about! Overall, the NPOD day has improved the way I fly, and it makes me more eager to complete my B test! It was indeed a successful day, coming back with an aircraft intact and a new PA bandit which has yet to be built! I certainly encourage people to attend days like this, as you get so much help and advice and it does improve your flying.
