Lesson 44 PPL
26 Apr 2006This was my first lesson with a new instructor, this time it was an ex-airline pilot with 25,000 hours! We took off, headed out to Tavistock and then did a steep turn to the left, one to the right, then another to the left. We then did a clean stall and then recovered within 100ft, headed back into the circuit and then did 2 touch and go’s then one landing, after that, went up again, but solo this time.
Took off planning to do two circuits, once I got to 300ft an air southwest plane came onto the approach, causing me to have to orbit at the midpoint of the downwind leg, for nearly five mins so that he could land, so I decided to land instead of doing a touch and go, the flight lasted about 10mins
