Flight Lesson: 04-25-10

I awoke this morning, eager to get out to the Airport as I was going to be doing a Solo XC to VCT. My CFI was not going to be at the Airport, and he had a copy of my Flight Plan and we were going to both work one out then compare them, and make the Go/No Go Decision. We ended up making the call to scrub the Flight due to the Winds being higher than forecast (320 11KT G18). I left the Airport a bit disappointed that I did not get to make the Flight, and that I would have to wait yet one more week in hopes that the Weather would hold.

Then, about 6pm this evening I got a phone call from my CFI asking if I wanted to go up for a Night Flight to knock out the last seven landings I needed to finish up the Night portion of my training. I with out hesitation jumped at the chance to fly. The weather was perfect, so on wards, and up wards we went. The landings were a bit rough, but it's not like I have had a ton of Night Landings under my belt. lol

I landed with 0.9 hours on the Hobbs, coming to a total Time of 44.0 Hours total in the books. My CFI says I just need to knock out the last Solo XC and I'm ready to start preparing for the Check Ride!!!!

Flight Canceled...

Well, the winds at VCT were higher than forecast with the winds at 320 at 11 gusting to 18. So my CFI said to wait fr a better day.
Oh well.

Solo Cross Country Tomorrow....

With my CFI's approval, I'll be making a Solo Cross Country Flight tomorrow morning. The Weather Forecast is looking great for a XC Flight tomorrow. Can't Wait.

I'll make sure I bring the camera tomorrow and make a Video of the Flight.

Fly Safe,
Dustin

Flight Lesson: 04-10-10

I just got back from todays Flight Lesson. not the best weather, but not bad.

We went up and did some Short Field Take off and Landings, and Steep Turns. Racked up one more hour in my logbook for a total of 43.1 hours.

After I got back on the ground from my Flight Lesson, I hung around the Airport and went up on an O-Flight with the Civil Air Patrol in a Cessna 182. We did some Steep Turns, and talked about weather, Flew over my House, and where I work.

Great Flight.
