Flight 20
This was only my second day of flying in 2017, so I’m still focused on “shaking off the rust” of putting skills development and familiarity with flying on hold over the winter off-season.
Goals:
- Flying the takeoff, tow, refreshing gentle and medium turns, heading holds, circuit, landing.
Conditions at CYHE:
- 14ºC, mostly overcast, some low altitude clouds up on Hope Mtn, maybe around 4500’MSL; higher altitude cover above that.
- 60% POP of 2-3mm rain showers, might roll through the valley.
- NOTAM: construction and rock blasting, 2NM, up to 1000’AGL, about 15-20km to the west of CYHE.
Flight 18
Goals:
- First flight of 2017, trying to dust off some ‘rust’ in my skills that developed over a winter of no flying.
- Goals were to practice flying the tow, smooth and medium turns, coordinated flying, speed control, and generally have an ‘easy’ flight to get back into the game.
Conditions at CYHE:
- ~13ºC at 10:00 AM briefing, partly cloudy, patches of sun to the east over Hope Mountain, dark clouds to the west over the Fraser valley.
TL;DR: I spent another great Saturday up on the airfield at Hope, BC. These were my final flights of the season, and I was focused on strengthening my gliding skills.
Flight 15
Goals:
- Back into flying after a 5 week break; aim is to fly smooth and speed-controlled gentle and medium turns, flying the takeoff, tow, release, manouvers, circuit, and landing.
Conditions at CYHE:
- 15ºC at ~10:30 AM briefing, partly cloudy, light rain anticipated to roll through the Hope valley. Some blue sky patches to the east, but cloud rolling in from the west.
