My first words over the radio to the control tower! I feel all pilot like now.
Finally yesterday the weather was right. My call to the Flying Club must have seemed a bit redundant, but when they said the weather was perfect I was a relieved and very happy man.
A quick photo from my phone as I arrived - Zulu Whiskey is the Cessna sitting in the middle with the covers on.
So I was straight in with lesson 4a - Effects of Controls. This as all Pilots Under Tuition know demonstrates the relationship between the ailerons, rudder and elevators and their effects on the aircraft - pitch, roll and yaw. Things I also had some fun with included recovering from spiral dives exercise, viewing Wootton-Under-Edge (and not Wootton Bassett) and learning the way home.
Kemble doesn't have a license for night use and Kemble Flight Information Service closes at 18:00 so we had to dash back to land in time.
Getting back I also has a chance to have an up close look at a glass cockpit Cirrus (SR20 or 22) - very nice!
