Private Pilot Resources - Aviation Blog

I obtained my private pilot license in 2006. This site is dedicated to capturing little gems of knowlege I collected during training. Periodically I add items I find during research so that others might benefit from them. Please review the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.

First flight out - private pilot

The past two weeks have been low broken and overcast clouds with lots of vertical development. Today finally a one day break and I got a chance to take to the skies. I headed out to the airport around 2 pm and lifted off at 3pm for a flight down to Hollister 3O7. Relatively close to home, but just perfect for a Saturday afternoon fun ride. Two laps in the pattern and a stop over at South County E16 with 3 laps there to practice some soft field landings and once the wind kicked up one cross wind landing. After a total of 2 hours airtime a straight in arrival to 31L. What a blast. Amazing how quick we become flight junkies. I really had missed not being up there for two weeks.
