Finally I take to the Skies Once Again

February, 3 2012, It's been nearly 4 months since my last flight! that's a very long time and I will admit to being a little nervous. As soon as i got in the aircraft I thought, "can I remember how to fly this thing". But as soon as we got in the air it was like riding a bike. No problem! Because it had been so long since my last flight we did some review this time that included s-turns and pattern work. Despite not flying in so long Tony and I agree it was my best day so far! I got a class III medical exam last week and now have my student pilot certificate. Now all I have to do is take my pre-solo written exam and go up a few more times and I will be ready to solo.

Review of Basic Maneuvers

10/7/2011 Today was a good day for me because it has been a couple months since my last flight. We lust went out over the hills and practiced some slow flight, steep turns, and more T&G's in the Pattern. It seems I've run out of money so my next flight might not be for a while.

Pattern Work & T&G's

8/29/2011 Spending a lot of time doing Pattern Work which means taking off and landing over and over again. I feel more confident in myself every time we go up. for more information on the traffic pattern glance back to lesson two ground school. By the way some of these posts are short and to the point like this one, I feel that because I've already described what i was doing in detail there would be no point in blogging it twice.

Pattern Work & T&G's

8/20/2011, Today was all Pattern Work. a fairly bumpy day to say the least which turned out to be good because rough air will only make for a better pilot. I'm landing on my own every time now with no help from Tony which is very exciting. My first solo is getting close, I can feel it.
