Finally got my first flight here today - albeit much delayed for various reasons (was scheduled for 13:45 originally, and slowly slipped until I finally got brakes off at about 17:00) but all my annoyance at the delay melted away the moment we got up.
Today's lesson, obviously being the first one, was fairly basic and there wasn't much to it. Basically we headed out west towards Ragland and just start playing around outside the control zone - things like selecting and holding a datum attitude, correcting from an upset attitude, holding level flight at various speeds and power, setting a specific engine RPM by sound alone (with the rpm guage covered) and so on. It all went perfectly however and the debrief from Jason was a great confidence boost with only positive things to say!
I'm scheduled to fly tomorrow as well, but the weather is looking far from good so that may well get scrubbed - for now though I'm just happy to have finally got up in the air!
I flew out to New Zealand on the 5th of December 2006 to begin my flying training With the rest of CP44 on the CTC cadet program... This is my blog!
