After a month in the UK, and finally having a few cents in my pocket I managed to reach to the skies again to fly a few circuits.
Today there was a bit more wind than the last time I flew, which actually helped on the landings. On my previous flight, the wind was 'light and variable' and I was cought out on one circuit with a clight tail wind. With a few knots of headwind today, and a slight cross wind at times, it lead to some better circuit practice.
Take-off was delayed a bit though through a faulty aircraft. On switching on the Masters to lower the flaps prior to my pre-flight inspection the usual whir of the Gyro's was not present. A phone call to the engineer soon sorted this. I'm pleased I noticed the problem as the flight could certainly have been a bit too interesting with only some of the flight instrucments working!
The flying school has now added a new online booking system to its website which makes booking even easier - its just like booking a flight online with Virgin Blue :)
