My Flying

5 May 2007

I requested a special day of flying for Saturday and it was very kindly granted by instructor F(5). Even though I was at the field at 8am, the day started late due to the thick mist and then later problems with the winch.

The first flight was at 1pm and I completed six circuits successfully landing on three different runways during the day. Each flight was just a circuit and they ranged between four and seven minutes long.

I was a little disappointed in myself as I was not having a good day. All went off well, but some of the circuit planning and landings were a little rough and not as sweet as they should have been. 269,40ZAR plus 175ZAR for the winch driver, rather an expensive day.
