So, I only logged about 5 hours over the last year. I need to get back into the swing of things before my biennial flight review in August.
I went up for 1.5 hours last weekend and all was well. I was able to run some slight crosswind landings at IGQ as well as some more significant crosswind landings at C56.
I did some MCA stuff and it was ok, but I had a tendency to try to correct with aileron as well as rudder. I need to make sure that the aileron stays neutral and correct with rudder. I don't want to spin just yet.
Saw some traffic while up there. shared the pattern at C56 with someone coming back from the North. While making my final return to IGQ, I saw someone depart and turn crosswind and leave to the East. It's important to remember how small traffic looks a few 1000 feet away.
I'm also starting my Instrument Training this week. I purchased the King school IFR kit to help with the ground-work. So far, the videos seem quite good. Old, but good. The Kings seem to have a good method of providing the information. I saw some of the Sporty's videos, and they seemed much more dry & much more difficult to stay focused.
You Tube also has a good amount of training videos for anything that someone might want to look further into.
I'll try to post updates as I progress.
