Dartmoor Gliding News-Wednesday 25th February 2015

The poor run of weather continues. Today’s issue was fog which persisted throughout most of the day.

The simulator was pressed into service. Aerotow launching was todays lesson. Several members practiced this with a range of success ( eventually).

Inflight refreshments obviously 
Step forward CFI Don Puttock who delivered a complete day’s lectures. Altimetry and Navigation in the morning with approach control taking centre stage in the afternoon.

Later in the afternoon the weather improved enough for a Robin Wilson to do a little fettling with his beautifully presented K6.

The days are lengthening. Roll on summer.
