| Re: Skidz flight training confessions Just a quick add. Tonight I had another instrument lesson. It was pretty much a review of the last few lessons. We did slow flight, stalls, steep turns, partial panel turns to headings unusual attitude and the usual changes in altitude and speed. All of it was done at night time which felt a little bit different to me because I have never done it before at night. Well, it was supposed to feel the same, but at day time I still get some cues when under the hood. Anyway, I’m a bit tired but I just love going there and doing stuff while flying around. I could do this all day I think. Hopefully I will one day. My instructor just loves to call the New Orleans approach to tell them where we going, but there is so much chatter in the air that it becomes annoying after a while as I’m chasing the needles around. So far my worst sin was not being able to relax and my instructor has pointed that out to me like million times, I can't help it, I guess it will get better over time. I had the aircraft trimmed pretty good most of the time I think, for some reason the altimeter kept creeping up on me always trying to be close to a hundred more than I'm supposed to be and when I try to correct it I keep chasing it up and down, it works so much better leaving it like 75 above the assigned altitude I have another lesson early in the morning at 7am tomorrow and this time it is supposed to be some timing turns and S maneuvers in preparation for holding patterns, can’t wait. So much for now, I might have something interesting to write up tomorrow, untill then try to get some sleep guys, I know you can't wait to read my next blog here  |
