Mark11 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Perfect weather this morning at YWOL. The day finally arrived. Very happy with the circuits, touch and go and full stop landings. Still in shock - can't believe it actually happened! 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark11 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 WOOOOHOOOO!!well done mate, bet you are stoked! Camo Thanks Camo. It's a nice moment, but a little sad too... Gonna miss my instructor... Well, the training not finished yet, and I could still hear him going through the downwind checklist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last two weeks were no good weather wise... I can't say I slept that well last night, so was a little tense during the first half an hour of circuits with my Instructor. But, when he said we should land a sort out the intercom, he ended up hoping out completely... As I'd just had a few of good landings in a row, I felt fairly confident ... And the conditions were ideal. Strangely enough, I was very calm during the Solo and felt in full control. It was nice to do it in my own trike too... Didn't get the GoPro hooked up - thought I'd better concentrate on the task at hand! GoPro soon... Confidence builder. I haven't added up my hours, but something like 12... I'll check A good day!

Mark11 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 My next booking is for next week 4th may. Long range forecast isn't looking ideal, but things change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayavner Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I keep this in my browser all week and keep hitting refresh. Am I weird?? http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/forecasts/albionpark.shtml They also provide the aviation forecast data, but this is quicker and easier to read esp for long-range, then on the day I can get the actual arfor or metar from Air Services. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
