Touch n Goes

6/30/2005

Today was a damn hot day again..100deg F. Bruce offered me a free 1.5 hour groundschool summary in the hope the heat will subside as the evening draws in. Groundschool is now over. I have to say that Bruce is an awesome teacher in the air...but his ground school class teaching skills are not on the same level. Still, I now have the sought after 'white slip of paper' that entitles me to attend the ground school computer test...I have a year to take it from the date issued, so i will be taking my time studying.

We did touch and goes. The weather was so hot that we were having trouble climbing on upwind...finally extended this leg, so we would be at 1500MSL on downwind. The landings went really well, and I even recall a couple of 'greasers'!
