Well it was my GVC practical assessment yesterday.
I was a bundle of nerves and my safety brief was more of a safety waffle.
Flying was not too bad.
The important thing was that i passed.

Congratulations 
on your flight assessment was your course lay out in the T shape? And we’re did you position your secondary landing spot 
Congratulations, @BrianS!

Thank you, I had more than one though 
Hi secondary TOLP was place to the left of the primary TOLP as I had anticipated pedestrian incursions from a nearby footpath (although cordoned off).
Emergency procedures got real when a plane from the Sibson parachute centre dropped a parachutist right in front of me but too far away to cause an issue, but still a distraction. Then the plane that dropped him flew a circuit and passed through my flight test from right to left at about 400ft !!
The training kicked in “phew” and I easily evaded him. So this stuff does happen in the real world. Still makes my hands shake when I think of it though

Congratulations
Thanks all.
@Ned Luckily we just got this in. The second part of the training has been put back till sometime next year.
@Cikoy Yes the lay out was T ish. The secondary landing spot was in front of us as we where operating from a path and we where not allowed to use the fields for the secondary landing spot.
Anyway i’m happy that my hobby will become part of my job.

Just completed another 8 days of training.
This time it was industrial inspections and surveying.
Learned a hell of a lot and finally got to fly in an industrial environment.
Thanks to Heliguy and C-Bird.
Best of all work is paying me to do this.
