  • VOR Navigation To Scappoose

    Today I took off from Portland area planning to go on a long flight around Portland airport, but instead, due to Aurora State being IFR conditions, I flew the first leg of my flight and returned.

  • Finally Left Troutdale!

    After many days of being unable to fly outside the traffic pattern of Troutdale Airport, I went flying yesterday and left the area thanks to it being a beautiful day in the Portland area.

  • Landings In Marginal VFR

    The flight for today was quite short.  Just a half hour, but in that time I was able to get four landings in staying in the pattern.  I haven’t talked much about Marginal VFR on here, so I figure I’ll give you a brief rundown. Marginal VFR is between 3 and 5miles visibility and between […]

  • Thar She Blows!!!

    Okay – the wind wasn’t this strong – but close to it! The wind was so strong during this flight that it made landings very difficult and a lot of fun.  I had to do a lot of crabbing into the wind to get angled correctly for flying around the pattern.  Something that came quite […]

  • Back To Looking In The Sky

    After taking over two and a half months from flying, I finally got to get myself in the cockpit of a plane again to go flying.  Though I told myself I wouldn’t go fly again until I finished my written test, I also knew I didn’t want to waste such a beautiful summer due to […]

  • Solo ToD

    Friday I went out with Rick and had another go at the Triangle of Death, however this time I did it solo. We started out the day with me flying the Twin Oak’s pattern a few times with Rick since it had been a couple weeks since I flew.  That went well, so he sent […]

  • Three New Airports and a Night Flight!

    Last night I had my first adventure flying an airplane at night.  The night was beautiful!  What a difference flying in the day makes.  It is amazing how different the eye works during the day than at night.  Though it was amazing, boy did it cost a lot! During the flight I went to three […]

  • Taking In The Sunny Weather

    This weekend I had two wonderful flights.  The first, soloing in a Cessna 150 around Twin Oaks, the other, flying with Rick over to Lenhardt Airpark (7S9) and landing for the first time on a grass (soft-field) runway.  Both flights were amazing and made me realize even more that this stuff is sinking into my […]
