Default Re: Skidz flight training confessions

Well, you know what dudes and dudettes? I actually flew the real airplane today and not a chinese water torture chamber they call a simulator. It was cool, one hour under the hood chasing around all those crazy gauges, awesome! I'm supposed to fly tomorrow again so I guess I'll put it in here if anything interesting happens.
As for today, it was the compass turns, timed turns, unusual attitudes, climbs, descents, climbing turns, power on/off stalls, steep turns....
*yawn!*
Well, nothing much to write about so I'll keep it short. The weather was nice, the tower went to sleep by the time we were ready to go. It was already night when we came back to land and I did my first 90 knots 10 degrees flaps landing that we're gonna use throughout the whole training.
I'm planning to go like 3 times a week till november and about 5 times a week in november. Wish me luck cause I wanna have that shiny new instrument rating in next two months.
