Debrief – Saturday 10th June
Taken during the pre-flight walk around
Lee to Sandown
After many, many hours in the circuit it was finally time to head out again and go on a bit of a road trip. My Dad is nearing the end of his license and needed to get some instrument practice in and I needed to get in some tight turn practice. We convinced our instructor into letting us do our own segment of flying and then stop at Sandown on the Isle of Wight for a cup of tea.

Uh-Oh Moments
Clouds
Aerobatics
To me Aerobatics is the pinnacle of aviation; performing stunts in flying machines that no flying machine has the right to be doing.
Lee to Compton Abbas
After spending many a lesson in the circuit at Lee taking-off and landing, it was finally time to leave the circuit and do some actual flying. After the circuit comes navigation. There is lots to learn and put into practice.
Bad Weather and False Starts
Clouds at 2 o’clock
Going Solo
In my last post I spoke about my experience of the circuit with my instructor beside me and often with my Dad sat in the back. In this post I’m going to go over the same thing; except this time I am doing it on my own.
