My Flying

I arrived at the airfield nice and early for a quick celebratory breakfast. After that there was an hour long lecture (the first of three) on cross country flying, the preparations and regulations. Handy stuff, though I'm not sure that I'm going to be using it anytime soon.

Then it was three short flights with instructor F(4) from 16L. The ridge was working slightly during the second flight and we soared there for a few minutes before the instructor directed me to land. Unfortunately the predicted fresh South-Westerly did not arrive. I thought the landings and takeoffs went very well and I'm starting to feel much more confident. The only part I'm still really battling with is judging when to turn base. So that's arrival at 8:30 and departure at 5:30 equalling 132ZAR.
