It had been over a week since my last flight where I took time to practice soft/short field landings/departures. Today I did an unexpected solo flight as my instructor was preoccupied.
Playing In The Grass
This morning flight was spent around Lenhardt Airpark (7S9) and Mulino State Airport (4S9). Both of these are small airports with the former allowing for grass landings and take offs.
Landing with a Smile
Today was my first flight to Valley View Airport (5S9) near Estacada, Oregon. This flight ended up being one of the most enjoyable and successful flights I’ve had in a long time!
TTD-SPB-UAO-4S9-TTD Dual Cross Country
The last flight I had was soloing at Troutdale (TTD) on December 13th; two days before my vacation. After finally soloing at Troutdale, rather than continuing to fly, I went on a vacation to Costa Rica. The trip was awesome…
Short Field Takeoffs and Landings
Flight today was focused on more landings staying in the landing pattern of the Troutdale Aiport (KTTD) since the clouds were so low, I really couldn’t do much else.
