The last two lessons in brief…
Last time I had just logged 4.1 hours and now I’ll do a quick write up on my 5th and 6th lessons…by what is more important is to what would follow….
Fifth hour
Paying as I go, it takes a toll on landings and the whole learning process together. It had been a few months ago since my last one. Interesting enough, it was my 16th birthday! No it means I can solo when I am ready. Did the basic stuff and took off, which if I can say so myself, it was pretty good. My CFI agreed. We headed North and we would be going to 40N, Chester county Airport, and would be doing pattern work. It was basically like last time, my landings sucked and my pattern was sloppy. I felt it getting a little bit better towards the end and was able to not bounce one, but I planted the gear that time. My approaches were getting better, as I could see on the approach lights. I kept getting distracted with teh nice toys on the ramp to, couple of Lears, CJs, and al sorts of airplanes Ive only seen in pictures, pattern back into New Garden wasn’t that bad and the approach felt good, but the landing! I’m flaring too high, not falring, too high, to fast….oh man, it is an art, once again.
Sixth lesson
Again, it had been a few months. But even before I was able to go fly, I was stood up at the airport by my instructor for an hour, meh (things I could say, but I won’t). So, that sucked, and I scheduled next week. That lesson went OK, but It was a wasted lesson, and time is money. Oh well, got to learn the hard way sometimes….
