Back to Flying, Finally

Got in just a bit over an hour on the April 15th. But more importantly was able to arrange a temporary schedule change with my employer and finalize flights with my flight instructor. So starting on April 24th I'll be flying every afternoon and hope to take the practical on May 5th. Afternoons in Colorado aren't necessarily the best time to fly, but this early in the Spring should avoid the majority of the thunderstorms that crop up as we get closer to summer.

Still need to complete:
1.5 simulated instrument (including unusual attitude recover)
3 landings to full stop at controlled airport
Long cross country
Night cross country

Of course, continued review of basic flight maneuvers.

Monday April 24th got snowed out. However, I did get in two hours on the 25th review of flight maneuvers, emergency engine out procedures, and lots of landings.

Final Day, NC Trip

After a wonderful evening with friends we got up the next morning for a boat ride across Lake Norman to have breakfast. The water was glass smooth and the weather was a little cool, but just great for the morning ride.

After way too much breakfast we went back to the house, packed up, and headed out to the Charlotte airport. After two uneventful flights we were back in Colorado.
