Day 18 Back into it again

Friday 26th June

As the title says, after nearly three months of not having the time to do anything else but work, I'm back into it again.

I was booked in for Tues the 23rd but the weather was lousy all day Monday, so I changed Tuesday's lesson to Friday.

Friday's weather wasn't the best either with scattered showers and the promise of it possibly getting worse.

The nav-ex flight plan was from Lynfield to Dalby, then onto Nanango and back to Lynfield.

We got to Dalby by dodging a few showers, and I was happy that I found Dalby without any trouble, considering visibility was not the best and I was also dodging showers. I was also happy with my take-off at Lynfield and my landing at Dalby considering I hadn't done either for just on three months.

On our run to Nanango the weather deteriorated so we did a diversion and headed back to Lynfield via Toowoomba. At Toowoomba I stuffed up the approach on final and had to go around again. My second attempt was without problem, but back home at Lynfield I did the same thing.

I can only assume I was a bit rusty.

Overall this nav-ex, because of the weather, was a good experience.

T/T 24.5 hrs (2.4 solo)


Update: Wednesday the 1st July. I sat for my BAK exam and passed. YAAAHHHOOOOO
