Number 3

Been delayed. Busy weekend.

Last Wednesday was Flight Lesson #3. We did stalls. Take-off stalls and landing stalls. They weren't as stomach churning nor nerve fraying as I expected. They were actually kind of fun - though that's probably because we were 2,300 feet in the air (1,500 feet above the ground), and I knew the instructor wouldn't let anything bad happen. Were I actually on final approach 100' above the ground and I suddenly found myself in a stall, I doubt it would be fun. But you practice so you know how to react if it does happen.

After the stalls, I practiced the stuff from the first two lessons, mostly steep turns and slow flight. Next flights are tomorrow and Wednesday, weather permitting, and we're going to be doing more of what amounts to landing practice - turns around a rectangle which is what you do in the landing pattern.

So now you know.
