I fronted up today expecting to spend today's lesson familiarising myself with the Tecnam. But Kev had other ideas; well not totally other ideas, but it was not what I expected. He told me to grab my nav gear as today we are doing a nav-ex and I can familiarise myself with the plane while I'm doing that. I had sat in on a nav course on Sunday but I was still a bit vague on some things. Because I wasn't expecting to be doing a nav-ex so soon, I hadn't done any study to sort out the vague areas.
After plotting a course etc (with Kev giving me some help), we got the Tecnam out, did the usual checks etc and got airborne after a ragged take off. We got to Redcliffe where I matched up the ragged take off with a ragged landing (hey, there was a good cross wind and this is the first time with left hand on the stick ;-) ).
After a cup of coffee I did a neater take off and set a course for home where I did a short field powered approach with some prompts from Kev to help me in.
All in all a good day with a good landing back on home strip to top off the day.
