Tried for an introduction to the glide approach today... not good... the circuit was not really busy, but when people are flying circuits about the same size used by 747's it makes it really hard to get your spacing correct...
We chucked it in after 3 attempts (including a Go-Around) and decided to try again next week...
I have purposely booked first thing to try to beat the crowds and get a nice empty circuit. If not, we make look at heading to Matamata and trying there.
The only positive outcome today, was that I figured out why I had issues with ETZ the other week... someone had raised the seat up! duh!
And in other news, the AB's (reduced to 14 men) were beaten by a blind referee, 2 equally blind linesman and the French this morning... Full credit to the french, we did not play smart rugby and the french took their opportunities (read: dodgy officiating) with both hand :P...
On the bright side, I might actually get some decent sleep, as I no longer have a reason to sit up till the wee hours watching the world cup! ;)
This flight: 0.5 Dual
Total Hours: 65.6 (54.3 Dual, 11.3 Solo, 3.2 IFR)
This was an awesome currency check
