When I left Ipswich for the 45 minute drive to Lynfield there were some light showers around and I was driving through some fog on top of the hills. You know you have low cload base when you can't keep below the cloud in a car. But Kev hadn't rang to say don't bother so the conditions must be better up at Lynfield.
The sun was shining when I arrived so we started with briefing which was going over lessons that I have done. Kev told me today we will be doing a forced landing under a power line (which we discussed for a while), and a refresh on anything I have already done that I would like to revisit. At this point the weather that I had left behind when I left home had followed me to Lynfield. So Kev gave me the Tecnam Sierra check lists and told me to go and sit in the Tecnam and familiarise myself with the cockpit.
Hooray!!! It looks like one more lesson in the Drifter and then I will be flying the Tecnam Sierra. I'm looking forward to that. So even though I didn't get to fly today, I am excited about next week (weather permitting).
PS. Robyn gave me a David Clark head set yesterday. She said that was my award for going solo. Isn't she thoughtful :) (I better not forget to do the same for her when she goes solo :) )
