My Flying

Another successful day even though the soaring weather was non existent and only good for circuits.

I made two backseats flights in the Twin from winch launches on 34L and both went off very well. The only real problem that I am having is remembering to keep the aircraft in the middle of the runway when landing. When sitting at the back you need to look past the head of the person sitting in front of you and I tend to fly to where I'm looking which is then obviously to the one side of the head in front of me.

I also made a sort flight in the Single that I really enjoyed, even though it was very sort. I managed to find some lift bubbles over the graveyard and worked them as hard and as long as I could. The problem is that I was distracted as both runways were occupied and I need to keep my options open to land and thus the thermalling didn't get my full attention.

More good news is that I received my rating to fly paxes in the Motor Falke so now I can take some people for flips and share the aviation experience with them.

So the cost for today for 3 winch launches and 15 minutes of flying is 150.75ZAR.
