Hi everyone,
I got up early this morning and went to the flight school and went solo in the Warrior. It gave me a little bit of confidence back as I have not been solo here for 3 years. There was 6 in the circuit – the expression used in Waterford would be “sure boy it was like Heathrow”. Only its much more relaxed here: you call midfield and the controller will instruct you – “Warrior 02N cleared to land number 6 to a Seminole” – so you’ve gotta look for the Seminole and count 4 in front and now you know your position.
The school has a policy that only when you are dual you are allowed to touch and gos, so when solo you have to do a full stop and taxi back every time!
I’m flying again tomorrow, with a new instructor. Bill does not work the weekends so I’ll be back with him on Monday!
Remind Bill, he still hasn’t set up his Facebook account!!
The Cars Fecking Great made some nice donuts on the Tramoreroad last Night.
Regards man racer.
