PPL training - Second solo

This was my second solo, and the first time solo at Karmøy - my home airport. The plan was to spend an hour in the pattern, doing as many landings are possible.

PPL training - Emergency procedures and Instrument 1 (second part)

Since we only did half of the Instrument 1 lesson on the way back from Sola, we decided to combine the remainder with the first part of the next lesson.

PPL training - Instrument 1 (first part)

After my first solo, we had a short flight back to Karmøy, with planned arrival just after opening. To get the most out of the flight back home, we used it to do the first part of the Instrument 1 lesson.

After the solo check, I didn’t even have time to think before I suddenly was in the airplane alone. All alone.

PPL training - Preparations for solo check

The next three lessons on the plan required a trip to Sola, so we had to leave Karmøy at sunrise due to the very limited opening hours. The plan was to do preparations for the solo check on the way down.

Flyhistorisk Museum Sola

This is the museum closest to us, and some of my training happens right next to this museum on Stavanger Airport, Sola. It’s only open on Sundays, so one Sunday we decided it was about time we took the two hour drive down to visit this museum.
