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.

PPL training - Landings 4

The next lesson on the plan was more landings, but this time on a different airport. The plan was to fly to Stord Lufthamn, Sørstokken, and then do a lot of touch and go there. This meant that I got to make my first navigation plan/log!

PPL training - Preparation and stage check basic maneuvers

After five cancellations (due to clouds, rain, fog, wind, and heavy turbulence), it was finally time to head down to Sola to do the first stage check.

PPL training - Landings 3

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.

PPL training - Landings 1

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.
