The day started with high cloud cover and a strong southerly wind.
With the club relatively quiet, Darren and new member Marta took full advantage of the training on offer to progress their flying skills. Will continued his winch training.
Phil and Andrew, our latest Astir syndicate, rigged their new toy with the intention of continuing their practice and familiarisation flights but decided not to fly it as the wind strengthened. Good decision. So rigging and derigging pratice only today.
The wind strengthened throughout the day. This made circuits and landings interesting but did permit all pilots to practice circuits and landings onto the stub runway from the north. This included Phil and Andrew who used the K13 to experience the challenging conditions; Good decisions seem to be becoming a habit.
The day finished late afternoon when the lowering cloudbase brought the start of the forecast rain.
An interesting day.
