Another offer of an extended lesson this morning, due to an earlier cancellation, but unfortunately I had too much work to do so had to decline. Happily traffic was almost non-existent on the drive down, so was half an hour early anyway.
Today’s lesson was the last of the “basics” – turning. Obviously I’ve [...]
A cancellation opened up a slot with my instructor first thing this morning, which I jumped at to make up for the lost lesson this week. Normally I try not to book the first lesson of the day; you have the disadvantage of not being able to phone in advance to check the weather, [...]
First up, an apology; the lesson was a few days ago on Friday and I’m a little tardy in getting it typed up, so I apologise if I’ve forgotten anything.
I’d booked two lessons this week, since I wasn’t sure I’d be able to take one next week and wanted to cover the possibility of bad [...]
Judging by tomorrow’s weather forecast, I’ll be having my first cancellation. Can’t say that I’m surprised or disappointed, since I’ve been rather expecting this.

Another day of clear skies, my run of good fortune with the weather can’t last for much longer. In fact, looking at the forecast for the coming week, it looks like it’s at an end and I’m due some cancellations!
Arrived at the airfield early and had some lunch in the cafe while watching people [...]
Beautiful flying weather this morning, nothing more than a light breeze and virtually clear blue skies. Didn’t worry about phoning ahead, and set off straight after dropping my partner at work so that I’d be there in plenty of time; mindful of the traffic last week!
Turns out that I didn’t even have to worry [...]
