For the past couple of weeks Barrie had got me to plan navigation exercises. I'd carefully plotted them out and done the weather and winds to get to Blackbushe for him to decide to do local area familiarisation. I'm not complaining - good practice and last week after a quick check flight I flew solo over Reading and to Theale - awesome! Weather has been great autumn with blue skies. We're firmly back in Alpha November - just got to get used to an HSI that doesn't slave properly!
The re-join has been a bit crappy - must do better there. I should be arriving at 800ft, perpendicular to the runway, just inside the numbers. I shouldn't have the tower calling me to check I've set Qfe when I have - I'm just a couple of hundred feet low.
