Well I finally managed to get up flying again. I went up yesterday morning. The weather was pretty good, although I found it quite hazy.
I practiced steep turns, power on stalls, side slipping and part of the precautionary landing procedure. I was trying to practice the part where you fly along the side of the field with 20 degrees of flaps at 70 kts at a steady altitude (I was doing it at 2500 ft, but normally you do it at 900 ft) but I was having a bit of trouble. Definitely need to practice that again next time.
The plan was for me to fly for an hour in the morning and then come back in the afternoon and get my last hour of solo time in. Well by the time the afternoon rolled around, thunderstorms were forecast and I didn’t get to go. Amy was also supposed to go up for her intro flight, but that didn’t happen either. We went out for beer / food with Brad instead.
Weather is looking shitty now until Wednesday. I’ve got a slot booked on Wednesday, but if things continue the way they’ve been going, the weather will likely be crapped out by 5. We’ll see.
