So Andy booked CVO for our flight on Sunday, the one plane in the fleet of 172s that I haven’t been checked out on. Well actually there is another 172 that I haven’t been checked out on yet, BOF, but neither has Andy so… Anyways, that was the only plane that was available so he booked it. That meant that I had to get myself checked out on it before Sunday.
I checked the schedule and found a slot with Brad for Friday (today). I was a little skeptical about the weather cooperating but in the end it was ok. The wind was strong, no doubt about that, but not a problem. We took off on 22 but I opted to land 32 cause the wind was strong and gusting and coming from 300 degrees.
The checkout went well. I love the plane! It’s weird not having to fiddle with carb heat though. Looking forward to the cross country on Sunday.
