Sunday 6th February 2011

Its amazing how a good breakfast can change your outlook on the day but not the actual events. The weather continued its theme of strong winds rain and low cloud.

A series of lectures for bronze and pre-solo pilots included "soaring weather, polar curves, altimetry and airbrakes and approach control". Marta showed us all up by using her quick mind to resolve altimetry problems in record time, the boys were still considering the question when she produced the answer.

After the brains were sufficiently topped up, we practised on the simulator. Again Marta demonstrated to Martin that overflying the airfield at 300ft while inverted could become a standard start to a circuit----however there is still some more development required, we might run out of aircraft if we did it for real."
