Yesterday was my last flight with Emily (at least for a while) since James is returning this Sunday. I had an excellent time flying with Emily and she gave me a number of good pointers.
Landings, Landings, and More Landings
Yesterday, my instructor and I focused primarily on just landings. I flew with Emily again today who I found out has been an instructor for a couple years now and currently has ten students as a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor).
What A Rough Flight
The flight this Thursday was simply…no good. There were no crashes, there were no injuries, there was just a lot of flying that didn’t go to well by me.
Foggles…of course!
Flying through clouds is something that I’ll want to experience some day, but for now, I’m just going to stay clear of them clouds and instead enjoy the experience of my Foggles!
First Time Landing
Yesterday I accomplished one of the more important aspects of flying…landing!
Stability, Rectangular Courses, and Circular Turns
Yesterday involved a discussion of stability and spin recovery covered in ground school, followed by an introduction and run-through of few different ground reference maneuvers.
Fill ‘er Up
Yesterday afternoon I got to fly again and during this flight, I went over stalls and steep turns. When we landed I had my first experience filling up a plane with fuel. What an awesome day.
Clear Blue Skies
Beautiful day to fly at 2pm!
