Despite all my ranting about planning ahead, here I sit, burning the midnight
oil. A few very hastily written paragraphs to follow as I rush to get everything
done before going away...
Achievements
July weather has been kind enough to allow a good number of solo flights,
including two Qualifying Cross Country trips. Both QCC trips went well despite
a temporary compass deviation problem, and a near miss with a chef!
Congratulations to Jon Dyer and Matt Russell for their QCC's, and to Mark Comer, Martin Thorpe and Mark Hadley on their 1st Solos.
Radio Course:
I will be running a course
on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9pm, starting 16th August. The first session
will cover all theoretical aspects, format of the tests, and preparation for
the practical part of the course, which should last 2 to 3 evenings. The format
will be informal, and there will be a charge per evening.
Venue will be the cabin, unless anybody has a better idea, and everybody is
welcome, but priority will be given to those closest to their skills tests.
Please speak to Graham or email me.
Oil dip sticks:
Cessna- Please secure it firmly. It takes considerable work to put the aircraft back into the air after a dipstick has been left loose, not to mention the frustration for those due to fly it next.
Pipers- They just need to be nipped up gently.
That's all from me this month.
