Flying

Lesson 22

Today with all the wind, rain, and rough weather I headed out for another hour in the front seat of the Citabria.  It ended up being not as bumpy a ride as I had first thought, and in general I made my way around the field in relatively good shape.  Kudos to the instructor for keeping me flying right, even though the runway and pattern were now being flown from the left.

Landings proved to be tough again, as were my turns to base and final.  The instructor snuck in a few extras, like a short field landing, forward slips, and a go-around.  I’m starting to feel a bit more confident about my flying now, but I’m still not sure if I’m ready to fly on my own.
