Flight 20
Conditions at CYHE:
- ~22ºC at 10:00 AM briefing; minimal clouds at about 7500-8000ft.
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.
