Thanks guys. Training is going well... I think. Haven't got to the landing stuff, but the last two flights I spent the majority of the time using instrument goggles. Still trying to get a good feeling for the aircraft. I've found that the difference between too little input and way WAY too much seems to be measured in millimeters.

In the picture of 63W, what's burning downrange?

Wait... what? You are under the hood but haven't landed an airplane? This is completely contradictory to my training. Learn to fly VFR, *then* worry about IFR. Perhaps a CFI check is in order, I have no idea.

Definitely land something soon though.

Yeah, I didn't get under the hood until late, very late in my VFR training. We only started the hood after it be came apparent I wouldn't have any trouble with my practical and still need flight hrs. Seems kinda backassward to me. But each CFI does his own thing. So???

Kinda like air brakes on a semi.

I have a friend that trained with the same CFI and he has almost no time under the hood so I can't say my training is typical for everyone.

The flying part isn't a big mystery to me. I've been around aviation for most of my life. Developing a disciplined scan and better coordinating my climbing and descending turns is more of a challenge, so that's been the focus.

It's the fire crew doing training. Not to worry.

Ah, sounds like you are in good hands.

Training update... Today, I flew my first solo. I was probably pretty close to the solo in late June, but the aircraft was down for engine inspection for a few weeks, followed by a problem with the nosewheel (again for a few weeks).

Here I am on my first take off:



...and here's the first landing:



My daughter took both of these pictures.

Congrats dude! Looks good to me.

BTW I've had a Cessna doing some fight patterns over the beach and near my house lately. The first morning I watched him I almost thought he was going up for sky divers. Like he was corkscrewing for altitude. Last two weeks he's been at it three or four days a week. Figure eights, ovals, stalls etc... Must be doing some flight training?

*sigh* I miss flying.

Are they processed or using a filter, or do you just have an amazing coloured sky?

Nice touch and go.

What temp and elevation where you're at? I did most of my time at near sea level in pretty mild temp. I took a trip down to Lake Tahoe one summer. Used almost all of the runaway to land and take off.

It was 85 or 90 degrees or so. Altitude is 2400 feet. Done correctly, you can land here with 1500 feet or less.

When it's 105 or hotter, things get interesting.

The Tokina 12-24 is responsible for a lot of it. It really makes the blue pop. but in addition... I process EVERYTHING.
