Finally, I am back in the sky and flying on a regular interval. Yesterday we got up and went over some emergency procedures and some slips. Today we got out and did some regular landings and some power off landings. The winds were just pretty crazy today but I think I delt […]

Server was down today and interrupted my posting of Wednesdays flying. At any rate I finally got back in the air with one of the local FBO’s. It was good to get out and practice some crosswind landings. Today Aaron and I headed up for Duluth for a long cross country for […]

Another day of full stop, landings/takeoff’s at KANE. I was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday not so bad that it really messed with my head but I just felt like I was about a half second behind which is not a good place to be. Yesterday was my last day flying […]

This post is actually for yesterday’s flying I was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday afternoon so I decided just to nap and relax. No flying today as Will had a prior engagement so it’s a good day to study relax as I still feel a bit under the weather. Hopefully I […]

Today was another scuzzy day out, basically poor visibility and shitty ceilings. I am okay with these types of days as we get to really hit the takeoffs and landings. Wind was out of the south today so we really hit runway 32L. I really like 32L as it has a VASI approach […]

Today was another low ceiling day today so we did some more pattern work today. I actually like these days that we work on landings and such. Today started out on runway 24R with a small cross wind. The whole day was a bit like that, changing winds and crosswind takeoffs and […]

Today was just a soupy day at KMIC. Will and I met up at our hanger this morning to do some flying. The original plan was to head north and practice some pattern work and learn how to do slips. By the time we got in the plane and tuned up the […]

Looks like this week will be a short flying week. Took yesterday off to do some personal things. Today it ended up being stormy, overcast, and windy. Pretty much a crappy day to fly so this week I will only get 2 lessons in. I hope it does not set me […]

As fall approaches I can feel the shift from the warm lazy days of summer to the cool breezy days of fall. Those days that you can just enjoy sitting down on the couch with a good book and listen to the sound of the breeze through the trees for hours. Take a […]

Great day to fly today a bit cloudy around 11,000 which was nice to keep the sun off the plane.  I was a bit rusty on my pre-flight today, good thing for checklists =D  Normal takeoff on runway 32R to the north on the way out we practiced some more slow flight and power off stall recoveries.  That […]
