I’m writing this a long time after the event, as I just noticed that I never wrote this up, and I don’t want to miss anything off!
This flight was my first ever land away, and was part of my preparation for nav and local area solo. We flew into the local area and started to recognise local objects, reading ground to map (with a rough idea of where we were). Then we started radioing Oxford, requesting QDM – (asking them to give us a heading to fly towards them), simulated being lost. This works quite well and we landed at Oxford, followed by a private jet! After paying the landing fee we then headed back to Wycombe, on the way back we used radio nav equipment to fix our location. I then had to do some PFLs, before we landed back at wycombe.

Foggles, very stylish.
I feel pretty dizzy and exhausted after today’s lesson. Got to wear these very exciting foggles which restrict your vision so all you can see is the instruments – no looking out the window today!
After trying to do some maneuvers with my eyes closed, and realising how impossible that is, we started doing maneuvers where I could see the instruments.
It was quite confusing at first, and required a lot of concentration!
Then we covered the DI, and I had to turn onto specific headings without the DI or compass using ‘rate 1 turns’ – this is pretty accurate which is useful to know in case for some reason I fly into cloud and the DI fails… I guess it’s all safety first!
After I took the foggles off I was treated to 2 PFLs on the way back to the airfield and had a nice crosswind for the landing. All in all a busy busy hour with some very confusing sensations thanks to the foggles!
1.1 hours in g-wacb with McGeoghan. We did ex 19, Basic Instrument flying, as well as some more PFL. Total hours flown so far = 25.1 – (19.9 to go!!)

So after 6 months of not flying, I had my first lesson of 2011 on 22nd April.
Because of my lack of recent flying, and being with a new instructor, the lessons was simply revision. We flew into the local area, did steep turns and also stalls in various configurations. Even though i’d not flown for 6 months I was nice and accurate – steep turns to CPL standard!
1 hour in g-wacg with McGeoghan. We did revision – steep turns, stalls. Total hours flown so far = 23.1
