Guest Brett Campany Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Got a few hours up yesterday, 4.2 to be exact! Completed the rest of my solo time and then went up with Ed to do my Pax endorsement and got through with flying colours! I also spent a couple of hours in the Fly Synthesis Storch which is an amazing little aircraft! So nimble and light, just a pleasure to fly! So the plan on Monday is to take the wife up for an hour or so and then get back into my nav training on Tuesday. There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it's only getting bigger! Will update the blog once I'm done at work. We've got a lot of flying coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relfy Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Top work Brett. You'll have to do a trip report after taking your better half for a fly. I also knocked over my pax endo hours on sunday and can't wait to show others what I've been raving about for the past 3 months. 4.2 hrs, that's a big day! Did it take you long to get used to the storch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonflyer Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hi Brett. Well done, and thanks for the info on xplane the other day.. Just to share something with you that i experienced the first time i took pax..i really felt the extra responsibility, and that mixed with a tricky crosswind made me sweat quite a bit on final..So much so i decided to go round and have another crack, and in the end, i took my time, got set and landed fine... My point is just to take your time if at any stage you feel a bit stressed or anxious or rushed.Give yourself that space and it will no doubt be a great experience..And lets face it, sharing the joy of flight is the best! Enjoy Cheers Simon:thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredRacer Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Come on guy's slow down, I'm getting frustrated (and jealous) here. Everybody's getting their tickets and endorsements, and I'm stuck working. But I'm still thrilled for you guy's. :thumb_up: Congratulations Brett, well done.

Did it take you long to get used to the storch? Took about 15 to 20 minutes and then with the couple of hours I was up on my own, I was just playing around a little, getting used to her handling and really just soaking it up!

Cheers again guys, I'm still loving the training, it's good to be made to think about everything and the tips that everyone here has bought up have been great!
