05/23/07 Back in the Saddle 1.2TT

Today was my first flight in a l o n g time. It was the start of my club checkout. Because I have been out of flying so long, I needed a BFR, IPC, & a club check out.

It was a little hazy but the clouds were high enough.

To say I was nervous was an understatement on a number of reasons:

  1. have not flown in a long time
  2. club checkout
  3. new instructor
  4. instructor is a CA for a major carrier

Things covered:

  1. stalls
  2. steep turns
  3. xw to/ldg

We flew to an apt close by, did some pattern work and after a short period it was time to head back as the layoff had left me slightly queasy.

That’s all for now.
