Weather:
Very very windy, gusts up to 30 mph.
Did
one circuit and it was really worrying and turbulent, sweaty palms
and having to really hang on to the plane, kind of like being on
a roller coaster, sudden drops in turbulance / air pressure, but
still you have to be in control of the plane. After one circuit
Jane asked if I wanted to carry on, i said yes for the experience,
not realising we would do more than one extra circuit. Jane doesnt
think I learnt much but i feel kind of happier knowing what bad
weather is like, and that i kind of coped in a strong wind. Buildings
etc around teh airfield create so much turbulence that you get wierd
pockets where you suddenly drop, and get thrown around by the wind.
Its the first time i've been scared by the weather and by flying
but it made me concentrate so hard it felt much more embodied because
of the risk. Maybe it is the risk that makes me want to do it?
Must
to more digital flying. GPS still not back from being fixed.
