Me and Rob met this morning at 6:30 AM planning to continue with his PPG training.
Rob has the trike lock in – he quickly managed five flights. The wind end up picking up really quick and the last flight get quite bumpy. Rob had to abort three landing approaches but eventually put her down and we packed up.
Five flights this Morning. Well done.
He’s going to do many more tonight and hopefully we can get it finished up.
It was a great night at the field. Northeast wind 10 km/h.
Captain Glenn who has 26,000 ours in various airplanes such as B747 B777 and the new Boing 787 Dreamliner has managed three flights. All forward inflations all good takeoffs and landings are just perfect.
Garry also did three flights. He still struggling with his landing. His approach is fine his flare is fine He just does not stay up on his feet and goes on his butt. He’s also quite stiff through the landings – he needs to loosen up.
David who was in the spring April course is working on his ground handling. It’s coming but it is pretty slow. His last run last night was great so hopefully he’s over the hump.
Overall beautiful night to fly.
It was a great one – air was soooo smooth
What an successful evening. Garry went on a second very long flight. Glenn got his first solo done and Ben has visited for some fun flying. Two people in this course, one person first solo after two days and the second person in three days. That is pretty good – I am very happy about that. The pressure is off.
Hey Andre
Here’s the video of 10min flying with Garry
-Ben
We did ground handling this morning but the wind was light and variable. It was somewhat productive but not great.
Midday break from 12 noon till 4 PM then more ground handling.
Whind picked up so it was very nice for reverse and both Garry and Glenn progressed a lot. Gary eventually started to work with the motor and practiced power on taxing. He was so good and the conditions were so perfect that I gave him the go ahead to fly and and he did…
It was perfect takeoff excellent Flying and pretty good landing but like most students did end up on his knees.
Congratulations Gary on your first solo flight. Accomplished in just two days of training. You are above average. Glen will follow shortly.
Excellent day
