Lesson 44 PPL

26 Apr 2006

This was my first lesson with a new instructor, this time it was an ex-airline pilot with 25,000 hours! We took off, headed out to Tavistock and then did a steep turn to the left, one to the right, then another to the left. We then did a clean stall and then recovered within 100ft, headed back into the circuit and then did 2 touch and go’s then one landing, after that, went up again, but solo this time.

Took off planning to do two circuits, once I got to 300ft a air southwest plane came onto the approach, causing me to have to orbit at the midpoint of the downwind leg, for nearly five mins so that he could land so I decided to land instead of doing a touch and go, the flight lasted about 10mins
