Hadn't flown for 3 weeks so needed to get up and blow the cobwebs off. I did plot a nav exercise for myself through some little airfields but the visibility wasn't great so stuck local and just took some shots of the Swale instead. Very calm conditions. 15.10.2016 - Brakes off 08:05(Z) Brakes On 08:45(Z) Total: 0:40
Total Time 162:10 From November 6th 2016 a local flight and sloppy cross wind landing...
Local flight down to Canterbury and Folkestone. An uneventful Sunday bimble, or so I thought. This clip is the landing on runway 34 in a mild crosswind (290/10 Kts). After a little float, I left the right rudder a bit too late (and perhaps should have kept the left aileron up as well). I got away with it but a reminder none the less to keep it much tighter next time! I should have done better.
Took my old friend Paul from college flying. Great to catch up after so many years. 24.09.2016 - Brakes off 07:55(Z) Brakes On 08:55 (Z) Total: 1:00 Total Time 161:30
