Less than ideal weather conditions still made it difficult to continue on the lesson plan. So we continued, for the third time, with pattern work while waiting for weather that was good enough for the stage check.

Less than ideal weather conditions made it difficult to continue on the lesson plan. The next on the plan was a stage check, which we had to fly down to Sola to do. Since we couldn’t do that, we skipped ahead a bit and continued with my first pattern work lesson.

Almost a month since the previous lesson, but that was mainly due to my three week vacation in August/September. It felt great getting back to the airport (after yet another cancellation due to weather). The weather wasn’t amazing this day either, but it was good enough for the maneuvers we were going to do.

We visited this museum as a part of our 2020-vacation. The museum was way better than we had expected, and include pretty much anything related to aviation.

The first attempt at this lesson was cancelled due to IMC, so it was nice to see clear skies above the airport! The main focus for this lesson was steep turns, slow flight, stalls, and the usual maneuvers including a new one: turns around a point

With the limited opening hours, I have to take whatever flight lessons I can. We didn’t know if the weather would be good enough when we booked this the day before, but the ceiling ended up being high enough for what we needed.

A thing you’ll learn quickly when starting with flight training, is to expect cancellations. The first attempt at this lesson was cancelled due to low clouds and rain. We got clear skies and very little wind for the next attempt, so can’t really complain too much about this one!

I decided to start on flight lessons in parallel with the theory, so almost exactly one month after the discovery flight, I had my first flight lesson And this time I got to do almost everything myself!

A couple weeks before my discovery flight, I noticed something that made me stop when I scrolled through my Facebook wall. The local airport, which I of course follow, shared a posts from the local flying club, which I amazingly enough had never heard of. The Facebook post that started it all Can I really do this I’ve dreamt about learning to fly for a very long time, and with the option to do it only 15 minutes from home, I didn’t have any other choice - I had to give this a try!
