  1. Welcome, from another newbie - agree there is so much interesting and informative information or conversations to collect here - always learning :)
  2. My solo was in 2016 after a few 'average' circuits finally got it together. On my last landing my instructor told me to taxi down the runway a bit further and then turn around then when back tracking said ok we are going to do exactly the same EXCEPT you will be on your own. Excited and nervous all in one, talked to myself continuously all the way, lost a little height turing base but sorted that, made the most perfect landing and captured the whole experience on my tom tom camera. Celebrated that night with a very nice glass of Aviator red. I think I still had the adrenaline going for the next month, amazed and quite sureal. Just the beginning. Michelle:plane:
  3. Thank you for posting this topic. This issue came to my mind only yesterday while (for work) on a medical retrieval coming in to land from aprox 3,000 feet between a mount range was 'choppy'. While flying through this and landing with a significant xwind I was contemplating how the little sports star that I fly (for fun) would handle this. I had visions of the whold plane breaking up! I questioned to myself when flying these conditions how does a pilot know exactly what stress the plane is experiencing at that point in time? This is a question I will be asking my pilot collegues next time. While aware of VNO and VNE aircraft limitations, for someone like myself with as little as 13 hours PIC I will be very interested in this conversation. From reading so far, the G meter sounds like a good recommendation to record and report aircraft stressors. Thanks again. Safe and happy flying ... avoiding turbulance!
  4. Hello everyone, I also have just landed here and love this cite, so much information for a learner flyer. I have recently recieved my recreational certificate working through to PPL. I work within the aeromedical environment and have loved flying for a very long time... now I am actually flying myself which feels very sureal and so much fun. Look forward to future readings with a keen eye on the classifieds :)
