Aug 25/14 – Training with Mike, George and Lawrence
Awesome conditions at the field. Smooth wind, very warm, just perfect. Lawrence and Mike did not waste any time and proceeded to do four flights each. George needs a little bit more work on the ground handling. We have tried to take off initially but it didn’t work out of him. Very good evening.
Aug 21/14 – Flight to London
Since I am planning to flight commercially, I need to build up my hours. My next goal is to have 50 XC hours and once I have that I can start IFR training. Also night flying rating is coming up but we need the days to be shorter.
Here are bunch of pics from my flight to London. It was very busy there, kind of scary. Not like the first time I flew in. London is class “C” control zone and pilot must read back all instructions and get clearances for all actions.The problem is that the controllers speak so quickly that is is very hard to decipher what they are saying and you really want to make sure you got it right when big jet is right on your ass…

Absolutely spectacular morning. Colours were so vivid. Mike did two flight, both almost perfect. Some minor changes required but lot better then his last flight which was completely un-stabilized. Looking forward to our evening session.
Aug 17/14 – Order spare parts now
I will be visiting my old homeland, Czech Republic, from Sep 15 to Oct 6 and Powered Paragliding Ontario will be closed.
If you do not wish to be grounded, order spare prop and cage section now so you have it before I leave.
Aug 16/14 – Treats for instructor
After Gaetan purchased his gear (Kangook with Fly Evo 100 engine and Cima K 2 L) we completed all the paperwork and just before we said good bye he gave me a nice thank you card along with gift card and very nice note.
I know he would prefer that I do not share what he wrote so I will not.
Next, Ben came to take his paramotor (Kangook with Moster engine) from my trailer and loaded to his car. Once I was finished and he left, I open car door and there is this:
I will only drink this beer with you Ben!
What a great week, thank you very much guys.
