I had back to back lessons this weekend, after 4 of the last lessons were cancelled due to weather. Was very happy to be up in the air.
Both take offs where more right down the runway…still more right rudder…seriously WTF!
What is the big learning from this past weekend? Well…when one wheel is on asphalt and one is on grass, and you are near other parked aircraft: Shutdown and get out and push.
I took a turn a bit tight and one wheel was on the wet grass and it did not want to come off. Even the instructor could not power it out. So, shutdown and hop out and push. And there was a plane behind me too, man I felt dumb. I don’t think that will be my only time to be dumb…but seriously! At least it was that and not something more serious.
The wind this weekend was interesting…our altitude was changing plus/minus 300 ft with some gusts. Not sure if that was actually altitude or pressure changes but I did feel a lot of motion. I was joking with my instructor that we never have a nice clear, calm day.
2.3 this weekend, 7.1 total
Sadly I have nothing booked until Oct 27th. Booking aircraft at CNC3 has been challenging to say the least.
