Flight# 7

I arrived at the airport early today by 7:30 am to get the plane ready for 8 am flight. Called the fuel truck to top of the tanks. You can see the picture I took of the fuel guy filling the tanks. As you can see they use ladder to stand higher than wings and fill the tanks in both wings!

We started taxiing to Runway 29 as soon as Bill showed up. Bill showed how to enter a stall and recover from it. I will get to do this more tomorrow. Practiced some turns and then picked an interstate (I-4 I think) intersection with on and off ramps as a reference point and circled around it twice with corrections for wind through out. Since I will be coming to the practice area on my own next week, Bill pointed to some landmarks and showed how to locate the airport to get back. We flew back to the airport passing over it at 2000 ft and then descended to 1000 ft turning in a teardrop fashion to enter the pattern at 45 degrees. The usual downwind, base and final legs followed, to land safely back on Runway 29. Every thing was fine until I got out of the plane and then it happened again! I couldn't wait until I reach the restroom and I threw up in the parking area itself. Bummer!:-( It wasn't as bad as yesterday though. I felt better a little while after.

The Hobbs time of this flight was 1.0 hours. Cumulative Hobbs time: 5.2 hours.
