Yet another very quiet day at the airfield. Fortunately we had enough hands to get the gliders airborne.

I took three short flights in the Single Astir, on winch launches, to fly three very nice circuits. The wind was a light Westerly and my circuits and landings went off very well.

Single Astir LandingI'm starting to get the hang of flaring with the Single and one of my landing was, I think, my best ever. I needed to double check by looking out of the cockpit to the left and make sure that the brakes were fully open as I barely felt the touch down.

A very rustig day at the airfield in nice weather = 131.40ZAR.
